Applebee's Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe
It’s a fantastic dish that combines creamy pasta with spicy, flavorful chicken, perfect for a comforting meal at home.What I love most about this recipe is how the creaminess of the sauce balances perfectly with the bold, Cajun-spiced chicken.Be sure to marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes before cooking to infuse it with extra flavor.Use fresh basil and tomatoes for the bruschetta topping—it really makes the dish pop!Serve this pasta hot, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
