cajun-chicken-alfredo-altI have a treat for you guys today- a recipe that is so simple and absolutely delicious! My Cajun Chicken Alfredo is one of my guys’ all time favorite meals. I won’t lie, I could eat an entire pot of this stuff by myself. I listed the servings on this recipe as 4 – 6 but at my house this one only serves 4 – there’s never any leftovers!

I call this a one pot wonder. Everything cooks in just one pot so you can put together dinner quickly and have almost no clean up. Like the other meals on our menu plan this week, this one is incredibly easy. I promise that all of you can whip this one up in under 30 minutes.

Be sure and check out the other recipes for the menu plan for the Publix ad that begins 2/27 (2/26 for some):
