Chili's Copycat Cajun Chicken Pasta
I have been getting this cajun chicken pasta for years. I even made it a few years back, but nothing was as close as this recipe was! This tastes just like the real thing. Try it yourself and see!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
- 4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 3 cups heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, fresh shredded
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken in water and put them in a Tupperware container or large resealable bag. Add the cajun seasoning and shake to coat thoroughly.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, in a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- When the cream mixture begins to bubble remove it from heat. Add the cooked pasta and stir well to coat the pasta in the sauce.
- Once the chicken is cooked, cut it into thin strips.
- Spoon the pasta onto a plate and top it with the chicken, diced tomatoes, and parmesan. Sprinkle with more cajun seasoning if desired!
