Cajun Chicken with Penne Pasta
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 whole chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- 12 ounces dry penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cut the raw chicken into bite-size pieces and season with 3 tablespoons of the seasoning.
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan.
- After the butter has melted, grill the chicken in the saucepan until fully cooked.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until almost done, about 12 minutes.
- Add the milk, cooked pasta, Parmesan cheese and white wine into the saucepan with the butter and chicken.
- Reduce heat to medium-medium low. Cook until the pasta is fully cooked and the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. Continue to slowly add more milk if you want to make the sauce more white.
- Serve in pasta bowls and sprinkle the top with the remaining seasoning.
