Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Toss the chicken chunks with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5: Return the cooked chicken and penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the sauce.

Step 6: Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley before serving. Enjoy hot!
