This creamy Cajun chicken pasta recipe is totally craveable. Juicy chicken breasts seasoned in a Cajun spice blend tossed together with pasta in a dreamy, creamy garlic Parmesan sauce will knock your socks off.
0 Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
1 In another large pot or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat, then dust the chicken in creole seasoning and sear it for 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate. While the chicken is cooking, cut your vegetables.
2 Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan, and saute over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3 Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream cheese, grated parmesan, and heavy cream. Stir until the cream cheese is melted.
4 Add the capers and ½ of a teaspoon of salt to the pan, and stir to combine.
5 Once the pasta is cooked, add the pasta to the pot or skillet with the cream mixture (add it straight from the pot of pasta water - no need to drain!), plus ½ of a cup of the pasta water. Stir, taste, and add salt if needed.
6 Add the spinach and toss to combine.
7 Slice the chicken, then serve over the pasta and enjoy!
