This Creamy Chicken and Chorizo Pasta is an easy dish with cajun chicken pieces, browned Spanish chorizo sausage, and sautéed vegetables in a creamy sauce.
– Chicken breast – Cajun seasoning – Olive oil – Chorizo sausage
Mix the chicken breast in a bowl with the cajun seasoning. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan to medium-high heat. Add the chorizo meat and cook until browned (about 7-10 minutes).
In the same pan that you cooked the chorizo, add the seasoned chicken bites in an even layer. Saute for 3-4 minutes per side.
Add the garlic, shallots and peppers to the pan that you cooked the chicken and chorizo in. Saute until the onions are translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Use a dutch oven or other deep pan: this will allow you to layer on the flavor from browning the meat to making the sauce and adding the pasta.
