Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the orzo pasta, Alfredo sauce, and an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning. Mix well.
  4. Pour in water or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the orzo is tender, let it rest for a few minutes to thicken before serving. Optionally garnish with parsley or Parmesan cheese.
