\nONE POT CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN AND PASTA<\/h3>\n
Try this easy chicken and pasta dish with a bit of zip. Clean up’s a snap, too.<\/p>\n
You’ll need:<\/strong> CHICKEN PASTA You’ll do:<\/strong> 2) Add the olive oil and butter to a large deep skillet. Heat the oil and butter over medium-high until the skillet is very hot and the butter is melted and foamy. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for a couple minutes on each side, or just until the outside gets some color. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.<\/p>\n 3) Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and continue to saut\u00e9 for about 2 minutes more, or just until the onion begins to soften. Allow the moisture from the onion to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.<\/p>\n 4) Next, add the pasta, fire roasted diced tomatoes (with the juices), and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir just until everything is evenly combined, then place a lid on top and allow the broth to come up to a boil.<\/p>\n 5) Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let the pasta simmer for about ten minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the pasta is tender and the liquid is thick and saucy.<\/p>\n 6) Add the cream cheese to the skillet in chunks, then stir until it has melted into the sauce. Top the pasta with sliced green onions and serve.<\/p>\n Hat tip to Budget Bytes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
