Steps
- 1
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain when pasta is still al dente; do not overcook!
- 2
Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun spice over chicken pieces. Toss around to coat.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; do not stir. Allow chicken to brown on one side, about 1 minute. Flip to the other side and cook an additional minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a clean plate.
- 4
Add remaining olive oil and butter. When heated, add peppers, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle on remaining Cajun spice, and add salt if needed.
- 5
Cook over very high heat for 1 minute, stirring gently and trying to get the vegetables as dark/black as possible. Add tomatoes and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove all vegetables from the pan.
- 6
With the pan over high heat, pour in the chicken broth. Cook on high for 3 to 5 minutes
- 7
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in cream, stirring/whisking constantly. Cook sauce over medium-low heat for a few minutes, until cream starts to thicken the mixture. Taste and add freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and/or salt to taste. Sauce should be spicy!
- 8
Finally, add chicken and vegetables to sauce, making sure to include all the juices that have drained onto the plate. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until mixture is bubbly and hot.
- 9
Add drained pasta and toss to combine.
- 10
Top with chopped fresh parsley! Enjoy!
