Cajun chicken pasta | Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Prepare chicken by washing and seasoning with oil, powdered seasonings, and fresh green seasoning. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Heat water in a pot, adding salt and chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil and add pasta, stirring occasionally until desired texture is reached.

In a separate pot, preheat oil and cook chicken thighs for about 4 minutes per side until cooked thoroughly. Remove and set aside, then cook the chicken breast if desired.

In the same pot, add butter and allow it to melt. Then add onions and garlic, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

Pour in heavy whipping cream, followed by tomato sauce and chicken broth. Mix well and bring to a mild simmer.

Once simmering, add parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce thickens.

Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Cut up some of the cooked chicken and add it to the pasta, saving some for topping.

Finish with fresh parsley, toss again, and serve.
