Cajun Pasta
Cajun Pasta is universally loved in our house! Really it is! It occurred to me the other day that there might be a way to pattern lots of other types foods after this 20 minute, 1 skillet meal?
Cut lots of lots of boneless skinless chicken breasts & red peppers & onions into thin strips and then saute them in a LARGE frying pan with a bit of olive oil over medium high heat. Sprinkle with a decent amount of Cajun Seasoning- 2 tablespoons-ish (Mucho Cajun seasoning = super spicy so consider your crowd) and add a couple of cloves of minced garlic.
While the chicken and veges are cooking, make your favorite kind of pasta- must salt the water. We are huge fans of thin spaghetti because of the ratio of pasta to sauce.
When the chicken and vegetables are cooked, stir in a couple of tablespoons of flour for a minute or two and then add chicken broth & cream (or half and half)- add as much as you want depending on how much pasta/chicken you have and how saucy you want it. Stir until thickened.
Stir cooked/drained pasta into chicken, vege, sauce mixture. Add salt and more Cajun seasoning per taste.
Served topped with Parmesan cheese. At Chili's they top it with diced tomatoes.

Cajun Pasta goes really well with a simple salad on the side!
Variation on the Cajun Pasta Theme I made for dinner last night. This was also super good and another way to use up the restaurant supply size container of Cajun Seasoning we own- ha:)
