CREAMY CAJUN "CHICKEN" PASTA (VEGETARIAN CHICKEN)



Creamy Cajun

I came up with this recipe in attempt to please my husband who is not keen on fake meats. We all loved this dish and I don't believe he realized that the strips were not real chicken breast. The 6 year old licked his plate - literally. So if you happened to grab a bag and are wondering what on earth to do with it.... give this recipe a try. I know you will love it!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

12 ounces vegetarian chicken strips or 12 ounces Morningstar Farms Meal Starters chicken strips, thawed and cut into thirds
8 ounces campanelle pasta (your favorite pasta will work) or 8 ounces linguine, cooked al dente (your favorite pasta will work)
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning (see below for recipe)
1 -2 tablespoon butter
3 thinly sliced green onions
1 -2 cup heavy whipping cream (I use one cup heavy cream and one cup milk)
4 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
kosher salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon paprika (I use Hungarian Hot Paprika)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Add Cajun Seasoning to a medium sized bowl.
  • Spray thawed chik'n pieces with a little bit of Pam and toss in bowl to coat with seasoning.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chik'n pieces in butter until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat and add green onion, heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and heat through until sauce slightly thickens. If the sauce gets too thick you can just add more milk and stir.
  • Pour over hot pasta and toss,with Parmesan cheese.

CAJUN CHICKEN ONE-POT



Cajun chicken one-pot image

Make a crowd-pleasing pasta dish for dinner. We've taken inspiration from creamy alfredo sauce with Cajun-style seasoning to add a bit of punch.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil
400g chicken breasts, chopped into large chunks
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
2 tbsp Cajun-style seasoning
400g can chopped tomatoes or passata
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
500g penne or another tube- shaped pasta
150ml double cream
20g parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
½ lemon, juiced
chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.

  • Rub each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 3 tablespoons of butter. Sear the chicken breasts in the butter until browned on each side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F which will take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove the chicken and set aside to rest.
  • In the same skillet as you cooked the chicken, without cleaning, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add in bell peppers, onion, and mushroom. Sauté until veggies are tender. Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons of cajun seasoning over veggies and cook 1 minute.
