One Pot Cajun Pasta

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 chicken breasts diced
• 8 ounces andouille or Smoked Sausage, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 yellow onion sliced
• 1 red bell pepper sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups mushrooms sliced
• 16 ounces whole wheat pasta your choice
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning equal parts cayenne pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper

1. Pour olive oil into the pot. Add diced chicken breast to the pot, cover with Cajun seasoning, and stir until the chicken is evenly seasoned.
2. Add sliced sausage and stir. Cook the meat on medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Once the meat is cooked, add the garlic, onion, peppers, and mushrooms, and stir. Continue stirring for 3-5 minutes as the veggies cook down.
4. Add the dry pasta to the pot (if using long, thin noodles, break in half), then pour in the chicken broth. Stir until everything is well-mixed. Cover the pot and bring to a boil.
5. Once the liquid boils keep covered, bring the heat down to a simmer for 10 minutes (stirring every two minutes).
6. If there still is extra chicken broth, you can discard it, cook until the liquid evaporates, or add a little cornstarch to thicken the liquid.
7. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and stir until your pasta is well blended.
8. Garnish with green onions, more Parmesan, a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning (if you want some extra spice). Add salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve immediately.
