Cook penne pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet with high sides, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced bell pepper, chopped red onion, and minced garlic for 4-5 minutes.

Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet, and cook until brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute to warm the spices.

Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and stir well to mix.

Pour in the heavy whipping cream, and simmer over medium heat until the cream has thickened and coated the pasta, about 5-10 minutes.

Taste the pasta and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve hot.
