Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
Step 2
Combine butter and olive oil with onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat; saute for 3 minutes. Add chicken, Cajun and chicken seasonings, and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and add it to the chicken along with the heavy cream, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir until well combined and lower the heat; cook for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Drain penne, toss with the chicken, then add in mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle in parsley and green onions and serve immediately.
