Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
14 ounces smoked sausage, sliced on the diagonal
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
2 cups dried penne pasta
1 ½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning, plus more to taste
½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced Italian flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, covered cooking pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add sausage to the pot and continue to cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Stir in garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, pasta, and Cajun seasoning. Stir together and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook until pasta is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Stir in chopped parsley and sprinkle with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.

This dish was a bit too complicated for me to make. I ended up burning the chicken and the sauce was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who is not an experienced cook.
