Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl.

Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the chicken, mixing well to coat.

Heat a large non-stick lidded pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.

Add the chicken and cook until it is lightly browned on all sides.

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan, sautéing for a couple of minutes.

Stir in the cubed butternut squash and chopped tomatoes.

Pour in the chicken stock, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the penne pasta, partially cover the pan, and bring it to a boil. Set a timer for 12 minutes and cook the pasta, stirring occasionally.

Once the pasta is cooked and the liquid has reduced slightly, ensure that the butternut squash is also cooked through.

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring well.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, and parsley, stirring to combine.

Taste the pasta, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper as needed. Serve with extra grated Parmesan cheese on top.
