Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with half the Cajun seasoning; sear in olive oil until golden and internal temp reaches 74°C (165°F). Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, cook onion and peppers in butter and remaining oil until softened. Add garlic and remaining seasoning.
  3. Add broth, simmer briefly, then stir in cream and Parmesan. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.
  4. Toss cooked pasta and seared chicken into the sauce until coated.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best made fresh; freezing is not recommended due to the cream sauce.
