As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for ways to make quick and easy meals that my family will love. This recipe for Cajun chicken pasta is a favorite in our household, because it's packed with flavor and can be on the table in under 30 minutes.
The key to this dish is the rich, flavorful sauce. I start by melting butter in a large saucepan, then whisking in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Once the sauce is simmering, I stir in grated Parmesan and Romano cheese, which thickens it up and gives it a delicious, cheesy flavor.
While the sauce is simmering, I cook the chicken in a separate pan. Once the chicken is cooked through, I add it to the sauce along with chopped red and green bell peppers. A generous sprinkle of Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning gives the dish its signature flavor.
Finally, I add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir until it's evenly coated. I serve the Cajun chicken pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley. It's a delicious, comforting dish that's perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
Step-by-step
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
- In a large saucepan add chicken and cook until done. Add red and green pepper and cook until al dente. Add cajun seasoning.
- Add chicken mixture to sauce. Add this to pasta. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.
