CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA!!!!

 INGREDIENTS:


2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


2 tablespoons olive oil, divided


1 tablespoon cajun seasoning


8 ounces penne pasta


2 tablespoons unsalted butter


3 cloves garlic, minced


1 cup heavy cream, or more, to taste


1/2 teaspoon lemon zest


1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


2 Roma tomatoes, diced


2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves







DIRECTIONS:


In a gallon size Ziploc bag, add chicken, 1 tablespoon olive oil and cajun seasoning, shaking to coat thoroughly.


Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a grill pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.


In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.


Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.


Gradually whisk in heavy cream and lemon zest. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more heavy cream as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.


Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine.


Serve immediately with chicken, garnished with tomatoes and parsley, if desired.
