@lemon8_us: Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta Ingredients > Pasta – For this recipe, we used linguine pasta but you can use any type of pasta: angel hair, linguine, fettuccine, elbow, macaroni, penne, bow tie pasta will all work great. > Chicken – We used chicken breasts but chicken thighs will work as well. > Cajun Seasoning– You can use your favorite store-bought cajun seasoning. You'll also need salt and pepper. > Garlic– Freshly minced or finely chopped garlic will give the best flavor, but you can substitute with 1 tsp dried garlic, or add it to taste. > Butter – for sauteing garlic and adds flavor to the sauce. > Heavy Whipping Cream – Makes the sauce rich and creamy. > Parmesan – Grated parmesan cheese or shredded parmesan will work great. procedures 1. Cook Pasta – boil in a pot of salted water until al dente, according to the package instructions. 2. Prepare Chicken – Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a saucepan, pound the chicken breasts into an even thickness and season both sides with cajun seasoning. Saute the chicken in a skillet with oil until fully cooked then slice into strips. 3. Make the Sauce – In a deep skillet, saute the garlic in butter 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and saute for about 2 minutes. Add the cream, remaining cajun seasoning, and parmesan cheese and bring to a simmer. 4. Combine – Add the pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce and toss to combine. 5. Serve – Top with parmesan and parsley to serve. Variations and Add-Ins 6. Vegetables – you can add cooked broccoli or asparagus to the pasta when tossing everything together. 7. Vegetarian pasta – leave out the chicken or substitute chicken with mushrooms. 8. Substitute the chicken – try sliced sausage or kielbasa instead of chicken. You can also make it a seafood pasta like our Cajun Shrimp Pasta. 9. Lighter pasta – try using half and half or light cream to cut the calories, but keep in mind the sauce will be thinner Enjoy ❤️ Share your recipes and get connected with your community!
