METHOD

Step 1

Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet, cooking until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Mix in grated Parmesan cheese to finish.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with more Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
