CREAMY CREOLE SHRIMP AND CHICKEN OVER PENNE
I combined a few recipes that I had and came up with this one. You can adjust the creole seasoning and add hot sauce to your tastes. The first time I made it, I couldn't taste the spiciness until after I let it cook for a bit so I added more Creole seasoning and it got way too spicy for my tastes. Please use caution! If you follow the recipe, you have a mild spiciness from the Creole seasoning and a creaminess from the Alfredo sauce. Add some protein and a pasta, and you have got yourself a wonderful meal!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place 2 cups Parmesan cheese into a shallow bowl.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Dip chicken breasts into the beaten egg whites.
- Press chicken into Parmesan cheese in shallow bowl to coat both sides.
- Gently toss between your hands so any cheese that hasn't stuck can fall away. Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Meanwhile, heat Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan over low heat. Allow to simmer while you finish the remaining steps.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; cook and stir mushrooms and spinach until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir vegetables into the sauce.
- Place the penne pasta into a serving bowl; slice chicken breasts and arrange over the pasta.
- Pour sauce over the pasta and chicken, and sprinkle remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese on top.

- Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Season the chicken well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other spices or herbs as desired.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're cooking more than one chicken breast at a time, make sure to leave enough space between them so they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality marinara sauce and add some fresh herbs and spices to taste.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and juicy.
