Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken:
Season chicken strips with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables:
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the bell peppers and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce:
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the skillet.
Simmer the sauce for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
5. Combine:
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
6. Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan, if desired. Serve hot.
This creamy Cajun chicken pasta is a delicious, hearty dish that comes together in just 30 minutes—perfect for a quick and flavorful meal!
