Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 roma tomatoes chopped
  • 1 T butter or olive oil
  • 1.5 lb of raw chicken seasoned with cajun seasoning

  • 1 heaping cajun seasoning more or less depending on spice preference
  • 1 bag of spinach
  • 8 oz bag of penne pasta prepared according to package (make sure to salt the water)
  • 1 Pasta water from boiling

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with additional cajun seasoning and cook (I did mine in the air fryer)
  • In a large saucepan, add oil, onion, bell pepper, tomato and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes
  • Add cajun seasoning and sauté for an additional 5-10 minutes
  • Add in the cream cheese and spinach. Cover so the spinach will wilt
  • Give it a stir and add the chicken and pasta water (I add about 1/2 cup)
  • Add the noodles and stir until well combined
