Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet, cooking until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Mix in grated Parmesan cheese to finish.
Serve hot, garnished with more Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
