Healthy Cajun Chicken Pasta Gluten Free Option Food
HEALTHIER CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN AND PASTA
I love creamy cajun pasta! But using the heavy cream or the half and half is just not the healthiest thing. So, I thought that I would try using condensed milk and it worked wonderfully! With the cajun flavor, you would never guess that it wasn't made with heavy cream.

Steps:
- 1. Pound chicken to help with even cooking. Season with cajun seasoning. Saute chicken in some olive oil on medium heat until cooked thru and set aside.
- 2. Add some more olive oil to the pan and add the peppers and onion. Saute until desired doneness.
- 3. Set aside 1 Tbsp of condensed milk and pour the rest in with peppers. Season with cajun seasoning to taste. (I add then taste to see if it is hot/flavorful enough and add until I get to my desired heat/flavor). Bring to a boil.
- 4. Mix cornstarch and reserved condensed milk. Add to sauce and bring to a boil to thicken.
- 5. Slice chicken. Serve pasta with sauce over it and chicken on top.

- Make your homemade cajun seasoning by combining all the cajun seasoning ingredients together and mixing well.
- Make your pasta according to package instructions. If your pasta is done before the rest of the dish, drizzle your fully cooked and drained noodles in a splash of olive oil and set aside.
- While your pasta is cooking, make your cajun chicken: In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken breasts. Add a pinch of the homemade cajun seasoning to each chicken breast and then cook for 3-5 minutes. Flip each chicken piece, sprinkle the second side with another pinch of cajun seasoning, and cook another 3-5 minutes or until brown on each side and fully cooked. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet that the chicken was cooked in, add the butter and minced garlic until the butter is melted. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper and cook for a few minutes until tender.
