Cajun Chicken Alfredo
Jessica Gray
A cajun spin on a creamy pasta with hints of Jerk It, different but delicious!
Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast or thigh (diced)
- 4 rashers streaky bacon (optional)
- 1 green capsicum
- 1 onion
- 1 heaped tsp Man Rub
- 1 heaped tsp Jerk It
- 1.5 cup water
- 150g cream cheese
- 50 to 100g finely grated parmesan (you could use normal cheese alternatively)
- 1/2 head broccoli, cut into small florets
- 250g penne pasta (or any pasta shape)
- Large handful of chopped parsley
- Olive oil
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and add pasta and cook as per normal instructions.
- While pasta is cooking prepare the sauce.
- Saute finely diced onion and capsicum in a drizzle of oil with chicken and bacon over a medium high heat for 3-4 minutes.
- Add Jerk It and Man Rub (if you would like a milder taste reduce this to a level teaspoon). Cook off for a minute.
- Add water and bring to a simmer.
- Add cream cheese.
- Stir well to melt, simmer over a medium high heat for a few minutes.
- Add broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add drained pasta.
- Add cheese and stir well.
- Add the fresh chopped parsley and remove from the heat. Leave to sit for a couple of minutes if you want the pasta to soak up more of the sauce or serve immediately.
