Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
Season the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Create the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and allow it to simmer gently. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted.
Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss in the cooked pasta. Adjust the sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
Add Mozzarella: Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted. Season with more Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
