CAJUN CHICKEN ONE-POT

Make a crowd-pleasing pasta dish for dinner. We've taken inspiration from creamy alfredo sauce with Cajun-style seasoning to add a bit of punch.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil
400g chicken breasts, chopped into large chunks
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
2 tbsp Cajun-style seasoning
400g can chopped tomatoes or passata
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
500g penne or another tube- shaped pasta
150ml double cream
20g parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
½ lemon, juiced
chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.

Yield Serves 4, or 2 with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
12 ounces baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), trimmed of excess skin and fat, patted dry
2 1/2 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (from about 1/4 medium cabbage)
1/2 cup very thinly sliced red onion (about 1/4 onion)
1/4 cup chopped mint
1-2 tablespoons very thinly sliced jalapeño
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Mix 1/4 cup oil, 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. cumin, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Arrange potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Add chicken to bowl and toss to coat. Arrange skin side up on baking sheet in between potatoes.
  • Roast chicken and potatoes, tossing potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are crispy, chicken skin is browned, and an instant-read thermometer inserted near bone registers 165°F, 30-35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss cabbage, onion, mint, and jalapeño in a large bowl. Cook vinegar, honey, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1/4 tsp. cumin in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Pour hot dressing over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Let sit until ready to use.
  • If desired, reserve 4 chicken thighs and 1/2 cup slaw for "Nextover" Chicken Tacos with Quick Refried Beans.
  • Divide remaining 4 chicken thighs, potatoes, and slaw among plates.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chicken and slaw can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you save time and avoid any mishaps during the cooking process.
  • Seasoning is key: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasoning in this recipe. The Cajun seasoning is what really gives the chicken and potatoes their flavor, so don't skimp on it.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken and potatoes from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken and potatoes in batches: If you're cooking a lot of chicken and potatoes, it's best to cook them in batches. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Be patient: This recipe takes a little bit of time to make, but it's definitely worth the wait. The slow cooking process helps to develop the flavors of the chicken and potatoes.

Conclusion:

This Cajun-spiced chicken and potatoes recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken and potatoes are cooked in a flavorful Cajun seasoning, and the whole dish is finished with a creamy sauce. Serve it with a side of rice or your favorite bread for a complete meal.
