Steps:
- Heat the oil in large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the peppers and onions and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, 1 minute.
- Add the pasta, chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the cream cheese and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Stir until the cream cheese is combined and melted. Don't worry if the sauce looks runny, it will thicken as it sits. Top with sliced scallions.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tbs butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the bell peppers, onions and garlic in the butter for 8-10 minutes until softened slightly. If you like your veggies blackened in this type of dish, like I do, give them a couple more minutes until the edges start to turn black.
- While the veggies are cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
- Prepare a medium size pan over high heat with the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
- When the vegetables are softened or blackened to your liking, add the chicken to the pan.
- Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken stock, 1/4 tsp salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper and thyme and simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened. If you like your sauce a little thicker, just add 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch to a couple tablespoons of the liquid from the saucepan. Stir until smooth, remove pan from heat and whisk in cornstarch/sauce mixture, then put back on the heat.
- While the sauce is simmering, prepare fettucini according to package directions and serve sauce over plated noodles. Sprinkle a little parsley over each serving to complete.

SOUTHERN PENNE PASTA WITH CHICKEN
This recipe is from a local grocery store. A little cajun kick to your everyday chicken alfredo. I did research and made sure there was not a typo. The original recipe does call for 2T of Cajun seasoning but please season to your own taste. Thanks for the reviews.
