Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe
This is so incredibly good, no one will believe how simple it is to make (I won't tell if you won't.)
Serve this with warm garlic toast, and a fruity glass of white wine to cut through some of the "Cajun Fire".
Cajun Chicken Pasta
3/4 pound rotini, cooked
2 tablespoons butter
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, in 1/2" slices
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, adjust as needed
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
8 ounces heavy cream
1 green bell pepper, julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Cook rotini according to package directions. Drain; set aside.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, onions, blackening/cajun spice and ground peppers.
Add bell peppers and mushrooms; stir to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in cream and let simmer another 2-3 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese. Remove sauce from heat, stir in cooked rotini and serve immediately.
