Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Pasta dishes are always family-pleasing, and this cajun pasta with chicken is a delicious change of pace from the usual. The extraordinary combination of cajun ingredients with fusilli or rotini pasta and diced cooked chicken can be as mild or spicy as you like. Leave the cayenne pepper out or add extra, depending on your tolerance for heat. The dish is a quick and easy preparation and if you are using pre-cooked chicken, dinner will be ready in less than 40 minutes. Feel free to use leftover turkey in the dish or make it with the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Enjoy this flavorful chicken pasta dish with a salad and cornbread or biscuits.
