Servings: 6
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 oz ziti pasta (or any pasta you prefer)

- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (more if desired)
- 2 Tbsp Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning
This delicious and simple recipe comes straight from Ally's Sweet and Savory Kitchen, an ideal addition to your dinner lineup on those busy school nights. It's rich, creamy, and has the perfect amount of zest to elevate the flavor.
Directions
1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and place in a bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the seasoning over the chicken and stir to coat.
2. If cooking the chicken in an air fryer - place the pieces in an even layer and cook for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Shake the basket a couple times during the cooking process so the pieces evenly cook. If cooking the chicken in a skillet on the stove, cook the pieces over medium high heat for 7-8 minutes or until the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the air fryer or skillet and cover it to keep warm.
3. In a skillet pour in the heavy whipping cream and bring the heat up to medium high. Gently whisk for a few minutes or until it starts to get bubbly and thicken slightly.
4. Grate in the fresh parmesan cheese and add in the other tablespoon of Creole seasoning, whisking together in the cream. Once the sauce is no longer runny it's done (a good way to tell is if the sauce coats the back of a spoon).
5. While the sauce is cooking, cook your pasta according to directions and drain.
6. When ready to eat combine the pasta, sauce and chicken, stirring together until all pieces are coated in the cream sauce. Serve warm.
