A flavorful and comforting dish featuring tender chicken, zesty Cajun spices, creamy sauce, and al dente penne pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with Cajun seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, then slice.
  4. Toss sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic in the same skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and add Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add the cooked penne and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce and heat through.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Don’t rush the resting time for the chicken to keep it juicy. Let the cream sauce simmer to meld flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
