CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN WITH MACARONI

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 pound elbow macaroni

4 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika. Cook until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk until there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.

4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.

5. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.

6. Add cooked macaroni and chicken to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine.

7. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
