Instructions

1. Roast the peppers & garlic optional but recommended.
Roast the red and green bell peppers in the oven. Place the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast them alongside the peppers. Once tender and roasted, add the peppers and garlic to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.

2. Cook the pasta.
Boil the penne according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

3. Season & cook the chicken.
Generously season the chicken breasts with Just Us Cajun, Quebec Chicken, Sazon, Creole, and Salt-Free Garlic & Herb Seasonings.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook on both sides until browned and completely cooked through. Remove from the skillet, allow it to rest, then slice.

4. Make the Cajun cream sauce.
Using the same skillet, add the heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, Boursin cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir over medium-low heat until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy.

Add the blended roasted pepper and garlic mixture.

Season the sauce with Just Us Cajun Seasoning, Salt-Free Garlic & Herb Seasoning, Seasoned Pepper, and Garlic with Parsley Seasoning. Stir well and adjust the seasonings to taste.

5. Bring it all together.
Add the cooked penne to the Cajun cream sauce and toss until every noodle is coated. Add the sliced chicken and mix everything together.

Allow it to heat through for a few minutes, then serve hot.

🔥 JUST US TIP: Roasting and blending the peppers and garlic before adding them to the sauce gives this pasta an extra layer of flavor and makes that creamy sauce even better.
