A delicious one-pot meal featuring creamy, spicy, and hearty Cajun chicken pasta that’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Browning the chicken: In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sprinkle it with Cajun seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sautéing the vegetables: Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Combining the ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Adding the cream: Add the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it heat through for a couple of minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Seasoning: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
  6. Serving: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy the colorful presentation and the rich aromas that waft through your kitchen!

Notes

Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors deepen and improve after a day in the fridge.
