Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Linguine

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Proteins

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Add the sliced sausage and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Finally, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the proteins from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the diced bell peppers and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

  2. 4

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, and creole seasoning. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Everything

    Add the cooked proteins back into the skillet along with the drained linguine. Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
