Ingredients
1 Kardea Brown Cajun Chicken Pasta (frozen)

Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese for extra cheesiness
Crushed red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning for added spice
Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
A drizzle of garlic butter or hot sauce for extra heat
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the pasta creamy and the chicken tender.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Lightly cover the top with foil to prevent moisture loss while keeping the pasta sauce rich.
Step 3: Air Fry the Cajun Chicken Pasta
First Round: Cook at 375°F for 14-16 minutes with foil on top.
Second Round: Remove the foil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
Extra Cheesy Finish: Sprinkle extra Parmesan or mozzarella in the last 2 minutes for a melty, gooey topping.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the pasta from the air fryer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Garnish with fresh parsley, black pepper, or a drizzle of garlic butter for extra flavor.
How to Serve This Cajun Chicken Pasta
Classic Southern Style: Serve with garlic bread and a side salad.
Cheesy Upgrade: Add extra shredded Parmesan before serving.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with hot sauce or sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Cover with foil for the first 14 minutes to prevent drying out.
Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before eating to allow the flavors to meld.
For a richer sauce, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or butter before serving.
Want extra depth of flavor? Sprinkle with garlic powder, thyme, or black pepper before serving.
