Steps

1

Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika. Cook until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
3

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk until there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
4

Reduce heat to low. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
5

Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
6

Add cooked macaroni and chicken to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine.
7

Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
