In a medium bowl, season cubed chicken with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook seasoned chicken until golden brown (6-8 minutes) and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Boil water in a large pot; cook rotini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain while reserving some pasta water.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt remaining butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and chicken broth; bring to simmer.
