Preparation

• Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the Cajun seasoning. Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
• In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic, sautéing until the veggies are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the cream and remaining Cajun seasoning, stirring to mix well. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, allowing it to heat through.
• Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce mixture. Stir to combine everything, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
• Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, and enjoy this delightful dish that brings warmth to your dining table.
