CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN ANDOUILLE



Creamy Cajun Chicken Andouille image

A great recipe my dad made for me. I had been craving it since, so today I made it at my mother-in-laws house and it was a huge hit there! A very tasty dish!

Provided by Marissa Hasting

Categories     Pasta

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 - 2 lb chicken breast (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 lb andouille sausage (the package i had was about 13.5 ounces)
1 tsp garlic (to taste)
1 tsp salt and pepper (to taste)
1 - 2 Tbsp cajun seasoning (i use mccormick) i like to use 1 tablespoon, if you like it extra hot though, you can add a little more.
1 white onion
3 bell peppers (red, orange, and/or yellow)
3 Tbsp parmesan cheese
2 c heavy cream
2 or more c cooked penne noodles (or whatever noodle you prefer)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut chicken and andouille sausage into bite sized pieces. Slice bell peppers and onions. Cook noodles

  • 4. Add cooked pasta at the end, or if you prefer, serve it over cooked pasta. :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Andouille sausage is a key ingredient in many Cajun dishes. Look for a smoked sausage with a coarse grind and a spicy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Andouille sausage is best when it's cooked through but still slightly juicy. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven: A heavy pot or Dutch oven will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sausage from sticking.
  • Add vegetables and other ingredients: Andouille sausage can be used in a variety of dishes, from stews to jambalaya. Add your favorite vegetables and other ingredients to create a delicious and hearty meal.
  • Season to taste: Andouille sausage is already flavorful, but you may want to add additional spices or herbs to taste.
