Ingredients
Directions
9 STEPS
1
Cut the chicken breast into 1/2 inch cubes.
2
Place the cubed chicken into a bowl, add the store-bought Cajun seasoning, and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
3
Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
4
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.
5
Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 more minutes, or until the onion begins to soften.
6
Pour in the penne pasta, fire roasted diced tomatoes (with juices), and chicken broth, and stir to combine.
7
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.
8
Add the room temperature cream cheese to the skillet in small chunks and stir until it melts into the sauce.
9
Garnish the pasta with sliced green onions and serve.
