Ingredients

• 1 lb fettuccini
• 1 package of Mountain View Cajun Andouille Smoked Sausages (or your choice of flavor), sliced
• 2 to 3 boneless chicken breasts, cut in small pieces
• 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, divided
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil, divided
• 2 tablespoons of salted butter, divided
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• ½ red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 1 carton of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 ½ cups of chicken broth
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain when pasta is al dente; do not overcook.

Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons of Cajun Seasoning over the chicken pieces. Toss to coat.

In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer – you may have to do this in batches depending on your pan size. Cook chicken until it’s browned, a couple of minutes then flip – add sliced sausages to the chicken and cook for a couple of more minutes, until all meat has browned. Remove to a clean plate.

Leaving heat on high, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. When butter has melted and hot, add the peppers, onion and garlic. Sprinkle remaining 1 ½ teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Cook over high heat and stir until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Add the tomatoes, heat another minute. Remove all from pan.

Add the 2 tablespoons of flour to the drippings in the pan – you may add 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Stir and scrape flour until browned, then whisk in the 2 ½ cups of chicken broth. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on high heat until sauce begins to slightly thicken. This sauce is not a thick sauce! Turn heat down to medium/low and add cream, whisking constantly. Stir in parmesan cheese and let cook another minute. Add black pepper to taste and any salt if needed. I don’t usually need to add more salt but taste and adjust to your preference.

Add the chicken and veggies back to the sauce, and any juices in the plate. Stir and cook on low and everything is hot, just takes a few minutes. Add the drained pasta and toss to combine. I serve with hot, crusty bread. Enjoy!
