Ingredients

– 2 large chicken breasts, sliced
– 8 oz penne pasta (or your preferred pasta)
– 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced
– 1/2 cup onion, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Creating Chili’s Copycat Cajun Chicken Pasta is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Boil Water: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt to the water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss sliced chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3. Sauté Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine, allowing the sauce to simmer for around 5 minutes, thickening slightly.

6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken and pasta back to the skillet. Toss everything together until all components are coated with the sauce.

7. Season: Taste your pasta and add salt and black pepper as needed. You may adjust the spice level by adding more Cajun seasoning if desired.

8. Serve: Once everything is heated through, remove from the heat.
