QUICK CAJUN CHICKEN PENNE
I used to work at a restaurant that served a variation of chicken with penne pasta. I didn't know how easy it would be to make until I gave it a shot at home-now it's always a requested meal around my house. -Rusty Koll, Elmwood, Illinois

Steps:
- Heat the oil in large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the peppers and onions and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, 1 minute.

SARAHKAYE'S GLUTEN-FREE SPICY CAJUN CHICKEN PENNE
You'll find yourself moaning "mmmmm" while eating this delicious one pan meal. Plus, this cooks together very quickly once you get started, so have everything cut and measured ready to be added before you begin cooking anything. A super delicious meal that is pretty easy to pull together in a snap! Don't let the long ingredient list intimidate you! It's soo well worth it! 3/1/17 Substitution Note: To make this recipe 'healthier' try the following substitution: OMIT the 3/4 cup milk and 1/3 cup butter, REPLACE with 1 cup chicken stock. We've been using this simple substitution for a while now, and actually like it better than our original full fat version. 1/25/20 Note: Our favorite pasta is Banza or Jovial, gluten-free!
