Instructions
- Cook your noodles according to package directions, drain them, and set them aside.
- Melt your butter in a medium pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is completely melted, add the chicken and spices. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to start softening the bell peppers.
- Once the bell peppers begin to soften, add the heavy cream and stir the mixture constantly until it begins to thicken.
- After the sauce has thickened, add the pasta and fold it in the sauce until it is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle your pasta with some freshly chopped parsley, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- You can store your leftover pasta in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. To reheat your leftovers, throw them in the microwave or throw them in a pan with some extra heavy cream until reheated.
- Any brand of cajun seasoning will work great with this recipe. If you have the spices on hand, I do recommend making your blend!
- If you wanna increase the vegetable content in the dish, you can throw in a diced onion, spinach, or peppers.
- If you want a thinner sauce, reserve a little bit of pasta water and mix it in.
