Instructions

Creating the Spicy Cajun Honey Butter Chicken & Pasta is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to bring this incredible dish to life:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the diced onion and sliced bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, honey, and stir well, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well to coat it in the creamy sauce. Add the drained pasta, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
7. Heat Through: Let everything cook for another 2 minutes over low heat to ensure everything is heated through.
8. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
