A creamy, hearty pasta dish combining tender chicken, smoky sausage, and vibrant vegetables in a rich sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 12 ounces pasta (e.g., penne or fettuccine)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Searing Chicken and Sausage: In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, add the diced chicken and sausage. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  2. Softening Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Adding Cajun Flavor: Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Creating the Creamy Base: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing to a simmer.
  5. Cooking Pasta to Perfection: Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if necessary to prevent sticking.
  6. Final Touches: Once cooked, serve with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm with a splash of broth.
