Where did the new Cajun spice blend come from? Recently, when Ron was shopping at our favorite farmer’s market, he brought home some Slap Ya Mama Cajun Spice Blend. He didn’t tell me he purchased it. It just magically showed up in my spice cabinet. When I noticed it and asked him about it, he said he tried a dip made with the spices at the market and thought I’d like it. Honestly, I already have a Cajun spice blend I usually use but I figured I’d honor my husband’s request and use the one he purchased.

This dish is not super spicy but it does have a kick to it. You know your family best. My kids wouldn’t have enjoyed this dish when they were young. Use your discretion on who in your family will like this dish. This recipe serves 2 people but easily scales up.

Anyway, this recipe brought back memories of that old one. We used to go through Cajun spice like it was water! Now I seldom use that particular spice, but I did here. I hope you enjoy this recipe with a kick!

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 8 oz Rotini pasta
• 3 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese separated
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• olive oil

Instructions

• Cut chicken into 1" cubes.
• Place chicken in a zippy bag.
• Pour Cajun seasoning into the bag, seal the bag and shake well to coat the chicken.
• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, saute the chicken in olive oil until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
• Set the chicken aside
• In a large sized pot mix together the milk, cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Heat over medium heat until just boiling.
• Mix in the chicken, pasta and 1 cup of the cheese.
• Stir until combined and cheese is melted.
• Serve topped with the remaining cheese.

As you can see there are 3 basic parts to this recipe, the chicken, the pasta and the sauce. If working on all of them together is a bit much for you just do one at a time and put it together at the end. This recipe looks complicated but it is rather easy and I hope you give it a try.
