Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 8 ounces penne pasta
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
– 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red and green)
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta:

1. Cook Pasta: Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to package instructions in salted water. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the sliced chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Sauté Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Sauté Bell Peppers: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the chicken and pasta are well coated in the creamy sauce.
8. Finish Cooking: Allow the pasta to absorb some flavors in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes over low heat.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

These simple steps will guide you to making a delicious bowl of Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta effortlessly.
