CAJUN CHICKEN LASAGNA



Cajun Chicken Lasagna image

This lasagna has just the right amount of zing to it. The key to this is the andouille sausage...probably not good for anyone counting calories either! The meat mixture would be good served over fettuccine noodles, if you would like to save time

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
12 ounces fettuccine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
4 scallions, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, celery, bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, transfer it directly from the boiling water into the cream sauce using tongs or a pasta fork. Sprinkle the pasta with the Parmesan and toss to combine. Add a splash of the starchy pasta water to help the sauce thicken and coat the pasta. Top with chopped parsley and serve with additional Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a good quality Cajun seasoning blend, andouille sausage, and chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken and andouille, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken and andouille until browned: This will help to develop their flavor and give them a nice crispy texture.
  • Use a good quality cream: Heavy cream or half-and-half will work best in this dish. Avoid using milk, as it will make the sauce too thin.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add more Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste until the sauce is flavorful and slightly spicy.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Creamy Cajun chicken and andouille is delicious served with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Creamy Cajun chicken and andouille is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of Cajun spices, creamy sauce, and tender chicken and andouille is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
