Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

1. Make your pasta according to the package in salted water. Save some pasta water, drain the pasta and set aside with a splash of olive oil mixed in so it does not clump.
2. While the pasta is cooking, add the butter and olive oil to a hot pan along with the diced onion. Cook over medium-high heat for approximately 3 minutes. The onion should be translucent.
3. Add the red bell pepper, garlic, and seasonings. Stir to combine then cook for an additional 3 minutes. The bell pepper should become soft.
4. Add the chicken, stirring and cooking for another 7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Add the parmesan, heavy cream, cream cheese, and chicken broth. Mix this all together and stir, cooking for another 7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the cream cheese has dissolved.
6. Add the pasta along with the pasta water. Mix this until all the pasta is coated. Cook for a final 3 minutes, then serve with freshly chopped parsley on top and even more parmesan.
7. And you are done, enjoy! ✅
