Easy One-Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta

Cut the chicken breast into 1/2 inch cubes.

Place the cubed chicken into a bowl, add the store-bought Cajun seasoning, and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.

Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Add the seasoned chicken cubes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is seared. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.

Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 more minutes, or until the onion begins to soften.

Pour in the penne pasta, fire roasted diced tomatoes (with juices), and chicken broth, and stir to combine.

Place a lid on the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the pasta simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has thickened into a sauce.

Add the room temperature cream cheese to the skillet in small chunks and stir until it melts into the sauce.

Garnish the pasta with sliced green onions and serve.
