Cajun Chicken Pasta

 

I found this recipe on Pinterest labeled, "Chili's Copycat" pasta, and I knew I had to try it. We changed a couple things up from the original recipe and fell in love.

 

While, to me,  it tastes nothing like Chili's Cajun Chicken Pasta {we think it's better!}, it is incredibly delicious!

We have made this a couple times over the past several months and aren't tired of it yet, so I deemed it blog worthy. If you are a pasta fan, you will like!

 

 

What you need:

2 Chicken Breasts

 4 Teaspoons Cajun Seasoning

3 Tablespoons Butter

3 Cups Heavy Cream

Salt/Pepper to Taste

1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

8oz Pasta

Tomatoes if Desired

 

What to do:

 

1. Cook pasta until tender. Drain and set aside. 

 

2. Rub Cajun seasoning onto both sides of each chicken breast. Place 2 Tablespoons of butter into a skillet. Once melted, saute both chicken breasts.

3. When chicken is about half way cooked, get out a large skillet and combine heavy cream, salt/pepper, and garlic powder and cook over medium heat.  

 

4. Let the cream mixture boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 2 minutes, add the cooked pasta and turn off the heat. This will thicken up some after it cools a bit.

 

5. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove from skillet and slice. Add chicken to the pasta.

 

6.  If you want tomatoes, just dice them up and place them on top of your plated pasta!

Serve with a slice of garlic bread and a Coke! : )
