Quick Cajun Chicken Penne

By Addie

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.

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
• 2 teaspoons blackened seasoning
• 2 containers (10 ounces each) refrigerated Alfredo sauce or
• 2 1/2 cups of homemade Alfredo sauce
• 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.

Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Sprinkle chicken with blackened seasoning. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. Cut into bite-size pieces.

In a large skillet, heat Alfredo sauce over medium heat until warm, stirring frequently. Add the tomatoes, onions, pasta and chicken; toss to coat and heat through.

REVIEWS:

This was terrific and easy to make. We used spaghetti noodles. The sauce was delicious with garlic French bread! I think next time I will use shrimp instead of chicken!

This was very quick and fast, it was prefect for a hungry crowd, I used my homemade Alfredo sauce and the whole dish tasted like it came from a restaurant. Thanks.

This was really good & easy to make. I only used one jar of sauce and it was perfect
