Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Stir in the drained diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add your pasta to the skillet, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid. Cover and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to meld with the pasta and vegetables. Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted.

Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, mixing gently. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions before serving.
