Cajun Chicken and Sausage Pasta

300kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large Andouille or Hot Italian sausages
  • 1 medium sweet onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups can Italian-style diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp Frank’s hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan for topping

Method

  1. Apply some Cajun seasoning or a spicy rub to the breasts and grill them along with the sausages until cooked to perfection, adding the onion, pepper, and garlic part-way through.
  2. Cook the pasta in salted water al dente, according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes and sausages into 1/2 inch slices.
  3. Add the onion, red pepper, and garlic to a skillet over medium heat and sautee for a few minutes, adding the chicken and sausage once done.
  4. Add Cajun seasoning and flour, toss to coat. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper flakes, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer.
  5. Pour in the half-and-half and heat through. The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it will get so simmer it until it is the consistency you want, 15-20 minutes.
  6. Add the basil and let it simmer for another few minutes.
  7. Finally, mix the chicken and sausage sauce with the pasta and serve. Top each serving with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
