CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA WITH LOW-FAT ALFREDO SAUCE



Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta With Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce image

Two recipes from food.com combined into one. (Original version of the Cajun Chicken was delicious, but it was not low fat) Our children don't care for the sun-dried tomatoes, so I normally omit those, although they do add nice color to the dish.

CAJUN CHICKEN ONE-POT



Cajun chicken one-pot image

Make a crowd-pleasing pasta dish for dinner. We've taken inspiration from creamy alfredo sauce with Cajun-style seasoning to add a bit of punch.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil
400g chicken breasts, chopped into large chunks
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
2 tbsp Cajun-style seasoning
400g can chopped tomatoes or passata
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
500g penne or another tube- shaped pasta
150ml double cream
20g parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
½ lemon, juiced
chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.
