Cajun Chicken Pasta

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

- For the Chicken:

450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon SuperSpice Cajun Blend

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

- For the Pasta:

300g penne or fettuccine pasta

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 small onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

- In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, SuperSpice Cajun Blend, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.

- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Pasta:

- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the bell peppers, onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.

- Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Combine Everything:

- Add the cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

5. Garnish and Serve:

- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Our Tips:

- For an extra creamy texture, add a splash of chicken stock or more cream if needed.

- If you like a spicier pasta, increase the amount of SuperSpice Cajun Blend, or add some Cayenne SuperSpice.
