Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 16 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until done, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
