Introducing: Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a new favorite recipe of mine: Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta. This dish is perfect for those nights when you’re craving something with a little kick and a whole lot of flavor. It’s a unique twist on a classic pasta dish that will have your taste buds dancing with every bite.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (500g)
  • 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (30g)
  • 300g penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced (150g)
  • 1 onion, sliced (120g)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced (15g)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (400g)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (240ml)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • large skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • wooden spoon

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with the Cajun seasoning, making sure to coat them evenly. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic until they are tender. Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer.

While the sauce is simmering, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Next, slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them back to the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, spoon the Cajun chicken and vegetable mixture over a bed of cooked penne pasta. Top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

This Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta dish weighs approximately 1600g once cooked. It serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 400g. Each serving is estimated to be around 500 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of hot sauce to the sauce for an extra fiery kick. This will take the spice level up a notch and really elevate the flavors of the dish.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta a try and make it your own by adjusting the spice level to suit your preferences. Enjoy!
