Category: Pasta - Meat
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  


Cajun Sauce
1 tbsp butter
1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
3/4 small red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
4 tbsp julienned basil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Salt and pepper

Pasta
1 pkg bow-tie pasta, cooked according to package directions
Shaved Parmesan cheese, for serving

Chicken
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tbsp flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup milk
4 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded 1/4 inch thick

Make the Cajun sauce by sauteing the yellow and red peppers, onion, garlic, and pepper flakes in the butter. Add the cream and chicken broth. Bring to a quick boil then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by one cup. Add the basil, Parmesan cheese, and mushrooms, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer a few minutes more, until all ingredients are combined. Set aside or refrigerate in a covered container and gently reheat the sauce when ready to use.

To make the chicken breasts, combine the bread crumbs, flour, and Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl. Put the milk in a separate bowl. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Dip each breast in the bread crumb mixture, then in the milk, and one more time in the crumbs, pressing gently to make sure the crumbs stick. Saute until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Keep each breast warm until all are done.

To serve, toss the cooked pasta with the Cajun sauce, ladle into individual bowls, and top with a chicken breast. Garnish with a little more Parmesan cheese on top.

Serves 6
