Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
In a large pot, heat Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) over medium-high heat and add in the Chicken (1 lb) . Brown and add Cajun Seasoning (1 Tbsp) . Cook through and stir occasionally until spices become fragrant; about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the Green Bell Peppers (2) and Yellow Onion (1) and cook until they become translucent and soft; about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the Garlic (2 cloves) and cook for 1 minute to get the raw taste of it out.
Step 4
Once cooked out, toss in Penne Pasta (3 cups) , Chicken Broth (4 cups) , and Diced Tomatoes (1 can) . Let it come to a boil and stir occasionally until pasta is Al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and add the Cream Cheese (3/4 cup) . Make sure the heat is off when adding the cream cheese or it will split. The sauce may look runny, but it will thicken once cooled.
Step 6
Season with Salt (1/2 Tbsp) .
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with Fresh Parsley (to taste) .
