1. Pat chicken breasts dry and coat with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until blackened and cooked through. Remove and let rest.

3. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.

4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

5. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.

6. Toss in the cooked spaghetti and coat well in the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

7. Slice the rested chicken and place over the pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley and more mozzarella if desired.

8. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
