Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe

Here’s a recipe for Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta:

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1-2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• For the Pasta:
• 8 oz (225g) fettuccine or your favorite pasta
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

1. Season and Cook the Chicken:

• Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season them with Cajun seasoning, making sure they are evenly coated.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

1. Cook the Vegetables:

• In the same pan, add butter and let it melt. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

1. Make the Creamy Sauce:

• Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

1. Combine Everything:

• Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
• Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

1. Season and Serve:

• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more Cajun seasoning if needed.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
