Instructions

Making Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps to create your dish:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning.

3. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5–7 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

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

5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.

8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before plating.
