Spicy Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

olive oil (to marinate the chicken,

butter

chicken breast

rigatoni

tbsp cajun seasoning (divided)

garlic (minced)

onion (sliced)

red bell pepper (sliced)

tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes)

heavy cream

pasta water

parmesan cheese (grated)

chili flakes and parsley (optional, for garnish)

In a medium bowl, add chicken, olive oil, and 1 tbsp cajun seasoning. Massage to coat evenly and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.

Cook pasta to about 1 minute shy of al dente, and reserve about a cup of pasta water. While your pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat, drizzle in some oil, and cook your chicken for about 2-3 minutes per side.

In the same skillet, add butter and sauté onion and garlic, followed by the bell pepper. Add tomato sauce, heavy cream, 1/2 cup pasta water, and the remaining 1/2 tbsp cajun seasoning.

Simmer the sauce for about 2-3 minutes until thickened. Stir in your pasta and half of the chicken sliced into bite-sized pieces. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the pasta is tender, add parmesan cheese, and season with salt to taste.

Serve each bowl of pasta with the remaining chicken pieces on top, and garnish with chili flakes and parsley. Enjoy!

Omg! I tried this recipe and my entire family devoured it. It’s soooo good! Thank you so much.
You have a new follower and I am looking forward trying out all your recipes in here.

I actually made this vegan by using vegan alternatives and missing out the chicken and it still turned out incredible (a sign of an amazing recipe!!)

Surprisingly delicious for how simple a recipe!

I made it for my family and we all absolutely loved it!! I didn’t change a thing, and I’ll be making it very often now!

This is a delicious recipe. I make it once every two weeks but fight the urge to make it every week. Tastes like a restaurant dish. So easy and the entire family loves it.

Absolute winner!! Had some cream to use up and found this recipe online and it looked good so gave it a go. So glad I did!! A winner with the whole family, fussy kids and all. Only change I made was I diced the chicken first, then seasoned and fried off. 
Have printed the recipe and added it to our family favourites folder :-)

WOW! I absolutely love this site and your recipes. I have made 3 recipes so far and I’m so blown away on how good it is. I can’t wait to cook this pasta dish. My boyfriend request pasta for dinner so I’m going to make this. Gotta say your recipes are restaurant quality even better in my opinion. Thanks Elle for sharing these truly delicious recipes. Please continue doing what your doing.

This turned out absolutely incredible. Always love how simple and delicious your recipes are, Elle, thanks a bunch!!
