ONE POT CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

I’m making this for dinner for the second time in one week! So delicious! I’ve made a few dishes from your recipes and and am impressed each time. This was amazing and so easy to make!  Just the right amount of heat and I threw in some sliced red pepper I had in the fridge. I also added a few garlic cloves but we love garlic in this house.  This ones a keeper for sure.
