FIREHOUSE FOODS: CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

Описание: In this episode of Firehouse Foods, FCFRD Dietitian Megan Lautz cooks Cajun Chicken Pasta for the entire shift.

INGREDIENTS (10 SERVINGS)
4 tbsp olive oil
5 lb chicken breast, cubed
2 yellow onion diced
3 bell peppers sliced
2 boxes whole wheat/whole grain penne pasta
4 cans of 14.5 oz fire roasted diced
tomatoes
2 boxes chicken broth
8 oz Neufchatel cream cheese
3 tbsp of Cajun seasoning

DIRECTIONS
1) Add oil to large deep skillet or stock pot. Once heated add cubed chicken to pan and add Cajun seasoning.
2) Cook until the chicken gets some color (does not need to be cooked through). Add diced onions and sliced peppers. Cook until softened.
3) Add pasta, fire roasted tomatoes (with juices), and chicken broth to pan. Stir until combined and top with a lid until broth comes to a boil. Next, turn heat to medium and allow to simmer for 10 minutes (with lid on), stirring every few minutes.
4) Cook until pasta is tender and broth thickens. Add cream cheese in small chunks and stir until melted into pasta.
5) Serve with prepared salad.
