I’m just going to get right into it….This pasta is DELICIOUS. It is full of those amazing
Cajun flavors and, even though it is a little on the spicy side, I loved every bite.

Recipe:
.
Ingredients:
.
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
4 tsp Cajun spice mix, more to taste
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
½ large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 ¼ cups low sodium chicken broth
½ cup white wine
1 Tbsp cornstarch
½ cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1 pound fettuccine, cooked to al dente
6 Roma tomatoes, diced
Chopped parsley to taste
.
Steps:
.
1.) Heat 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and 1 Tbsp of the butter in a large skillet over high heat.
.
2.) Add the chicken in a single layer and sprinkle on 2 tsp of the Cajun spice mix.
Do not stir the chicken at first; allow it to brown on the first side for a minute or two.
.
3.) Flip to the other side and cook for about 1 minute, then stir the chicken around and
continue to cook it until it’s totally done, about 2 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
.
4.) To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter, the peppers, onion, and garlic.
.
5.) Sprinkle on the remaining 2 tsp Cajun spice mix and cook over very high heat for
1 minute, stirring gently and getting as much color on the veggies as possible.
.
6.) Remove vegetables to the place with the chicken.
.
7.) Reduce the heat to medium-high and pour in 2 cups of the chicken broth and the wine.
.
8.) Cook and let the liquid bubble up and cook for 3 or 4 minutes, until reduced by half, scraping
the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Turn heat to medium-low.
.
9.) Make a slurry by whisking the cornstarch with the remaining ¼ cup chicken broth.
Pour it into the skillet and stir to combine.
.
10.) Pour in the cream, stirring or whisking continuously.
.
11.) Cook the sauce or medium-low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
.
12.) Taste and add more salt, black pepper, or more Cajun spice mix….whatever you think it needs.
.
13.) Add the pasta, chicken, and veggies to the skillet, along with all the juices from the plate.
Add the tomatoes on top and toss it all together to heat through, adding the parsley at the end.
