- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, drained
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
- Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170u0b0; keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package directions. In a Dutch oven coated with cooking spray, saute onion in oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic and remaining Cajun seasoning; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes and pepper.
