Cooking Steps
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and set aside.
- Pat the chicken strips dry with paper towels and season them generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside while you preheat your skillet.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover.
- Using the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for around 30 seconds until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in Velveeta and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Gradually add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Add Italian seasoning and adjust with more Cajun seasoning to taste.
- Gently fold the cooked spaghetti into the creamy sauce, ensuring every strand is coated.
- Nestle the seared chicken on top of the pasta and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes
For a lighter version, opt for half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Consider adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition.
