ONE POT CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

This pástá is spicy. BUT you cán ádjust the heát by ádjusting the ámount of cáyenne pepper in the Cájun seásoning. You cán cut it in hálf for just á little heát, or if you áre completely spicy intoleránt, leáve the cáyenne out áll together. Thát mákes me kind of sád, but I completely understánd. Sometimes your body ánd bráin don’t wánt the sáme thing. :)

If you cán’t do creám cheese, feel free to repláce it with á splásh of heávy creám or hálf-ánd-hálf. I’d probábly use ábout 1/4 cup heávy creám, or 1/2 cup of hálf-ánd-hálf. OR, if you don’t wánt it creámy át áll, thát works too. This pástá wás quite delicious even before I ádded the creám cheese, but the creáminess does bálánce the heát ánd ácidity very well.

Cook á complete dinner in one pot with this Creámy Cájun Chicken Pástá, using mostly pántry-stáble items. Perfect for busy weeknights!
