#CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA PROFESSIONAL#
I am an escapee from a previous life of professional employment in various fields of nursing, management and occupational health and saftey. Once again thanks so much for this wonderful recipe! While it was simmering I sliced two handfuls of cherry tomatoes in half and tossed them in as well, they were a nice relief from the spicy chicken. After adding the half and half, as opposed to heavy whipping cream, I added flour to thicken up the sauce, after stirring until all the flour dissolved, I added in the veggies and allowed it to simmer for a few minutes. I can't imagine making it without the bell pepper.
While the chicken was cooking in the butter, I sauteed chopped red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, chopped garlic, basil, salt and pepper. I made this twice in the past two weeks, the last time for boyfriend and several friends, one of whom went back for seconds and thirds :) I read quite a few reviews and wound up combining a lot of the suggestions. We are no food critics.but to us.this dish IS restaurant quality and is earning a spot in the front of the pasta section of my cookbook!!! Thanks, Lorac, for this OUTSTANDING recipe!įirst of all.THANK YOU! My lovable but slightly spoiled boyfriend deemed this "a dish his mother would be jealous of", something I am fairly certain he has never said before. The entire meal my husband and I were scheming up different ways to make this recipe and we both agreed that we would like to try it with shrimp and also do just a veggie-version with lots of mushrooms, yellow/red/orange peppers, etc. The flavors just dance around in your mouth, not too overpowering, but they let you know they are there. Honestly, with the exception of a straight-out alfredo, this is the best pasta sauce I have ever had. I layed a bed of pasta on a platter and poured the sauce over it all and served it "family style." We could have NEVER guessed what we were about to experience. I doubt this had anything to do with it, but I have never used a pre-mixed cajun seasoning before. Ironically, I had just purchased Pampered Chef's Cajun Seasoning. The only other thing that I used that was a first for me was the cajun seasoning.
#CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA FULL#
For the sundried tomatoe I went to my freezer and grabbed a few of Mirj's "Oven-dried tomatoes" (which I have freezer bags full of) instead. I added 1 lb of halfed whole white button mushrooms. Serve sprinkled with parsley and extra Parmesan.FANTABULOUS!!!! This dish was sooooo good I have to give a play-by-play. Combine and serve: Slice the chicken breasts and add to the pasta.Add the cooked pasta and a splash of the reserved cooking water to thin down the sauce if necessary. Turn down the heat then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow to simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Add 1-2 tsp of Cajun seasoning and pour in the cream and lemon juice. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent.
#CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA HOW TO#
How to make creamy Cajun chicken pasta sauce: Place the pan back over mediumheat and add a tablespoon of butter (or use oil).If the spices have browned too much, wipe the pan out with a piece of paper towel. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Heat a large frying pan and add a splash of oil. Season generously on both sides with Cajun seasoning. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken on a cutting board in front of you and carefully slice each in half, horizontally, resulting in two thin fillets.I used Rigatoni but any short pasta shape will work. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts/fillets. Juicy cajun-spiced chicken on top of creamy pasta is a meal the whole family will love. This easy Cajun chicken pasta is a weeknight dinner dream.
