Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Pasta

Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and slice.

3. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

4. Combine Ingredients

Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Finish the Dish

Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce, tossing to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

6. Garnish and Serve

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
