One Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon Lou-Easy-Ana seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12-16 ounces of pasta (I use Rummo gluten free Penne)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
- 4 thinly sliced green onions
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1:
Using a meat mallet, cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound into ¼ inch thickness. Pat dry with a paper towel and use 1 tbsp Lou-Easy-Ana to season the chicken on both sides.
Step 2:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides and cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and set aside.
Step 3:
Reduce the heat to medium. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 4:
Add the uncooked pasta, chicken broth, milk and remaining Lou-easy-ana seasoning (1 tbsp). Bring to a low simmer, add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the liquid is absorbed and creamy and the pasta is cooked, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 5:
Serve the bowls of pasta topped with sliced chicken, sliced green onions and fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
