It may not be your typical chicken alfredo recipe, but this Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious. It contains just the right amount of spice to wake up the flavor a bit, but the spice is nicely balanced with half and half, so that even people very sensitive to spice will have no trouble enjoying this recipe. I do love Cajun recipes of all types, but ones like these are especially good for midweek nights when you want something really quick and need to keep cleanup to a minimum. I wouldn’t call this traditional alfredo, but it is certainly a yummy one-pot meal!

I must say I hesitated for a while when I came across this recipe. I do enjoy Chicken Alfredo as much as I do cajun seasoning, but had never thought of combining the two. Turns out it was a great idea!

You know those days when you’re just completely sick and tired of your usual dinner recipes? The ones that keep going round and round in the dinner routine – everyone likes them, but sometimes they just get a little boring. The problem is, you don’t always have the time or the energy to make something different on a weeknight. What if I told you this recipe is the solution to your problem?

This Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo adds a little New Orleans flair to a classic recipe, and it is quick and easy enough to make for a hectic midweek dinner. Though some recipes do, not all Italian or Cajun recipes take forever or require a heavy culinary workout. This creamy, spicy deliciousness takes only five basic steps and about 20 minutes to throw together, yet still packs gourmet-level flavor.

If you are looking for an easy, creamy casserole to make for dinner, this Chicken Alfredo Casserole recipe is a good choice.

It brings gourmet flavor to your dinner table without much hassle or time investment. I have a box full of go-to recipes for those busy days when I want to serve something nice but don’t have the time to slave away in the kitchen. This is one of those recipes. Chicken Alfredo has a fancy name, and if you like creamy, cheese-rich dishes, it does sport great Italian-style flavor.

Making it into a casserole is a great way to speed up the process and reduce the hassle. After all, you’ve probably got hungry kids and family members to feed, right? Who wants to listen to them howl about how hungry they are any longer than you have too? Not me!

So, I’m always thankful for recipes like this because it’s easy to make, tastes good, and very filling. Everyone is usually happy with it, too! This includes my picky eater son 🙂

Of course, you can expand this recipe as much as you like, though this makes a good bit as-is.  It’s hard to beat that bacon and cheese combo for a filling and satisfying meal, isn’t it?  Enjoy!

This Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti recipe gives you all of that wonderful, creamy Italian flavor with little hassle or time investment.  It is also very inexpensive to throw together. It’s a great kid-friendly recipe that would also do wonderfully at any more formal gathering.

Italian cuisine is perhaps most famous for all of its red sauces and delicious tomato-based recipes, but those wonderful white sauce-based dishes shouldn’t be neglected.  In Italian restaurants, I’ve probably ordered chicken or seafood alfredo more than I have the usual spaghetti or lasagna (though I love those dishes, too).

It really is amazing how easy it is to put a gourmet dish like this together–and how inexpensive!  Ingredient cost for this recipe is about $16 for a meal that makes six to eight servings.  (You’ll have to spend more if you don’t have any olive oil on hand, but you will have plenty left for future use.)  It really is hard to beat that for a really good meal.
