Instructions
- Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Combine chicken with Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika in a mixing bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet.
- Lower heat to medium, add butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté garlic for 1 minute, then whisk in flour to create a roux. Cook for an additional minute until bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk and chicken broth to the roux, bringing to a simmer and cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in cream cheese, then add shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and blended.
- Toss cooked spaghetti and seared chicken into the cheese sauce, ensuring everything is well-coated.
- Transfer to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top, and broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
