Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (10–12 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes seasoned with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning; sauté for about 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then add minced garlic; sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle in flour while whisking continuously to form a roux; cook for about one minute without browning.
Gradually whisk in whole milk; let simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
Stir in Velveeta and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth.
Combine cooked pasta and chicken with the sauce; toss gently to coat everything evenly.
