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.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
  • To make the cajun spice mix, you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and paprika according to your taste preference.
  • For a milder curry flavor, use less curry powder or substitute with a milder curry powder such as madras curry powder.
  • If you want the dish to be spicier, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mix.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, marinate the chicken in the cajun spice mix for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Serve the curry with rice, naan, or your favorite side dishes.

Conclusion:

This curry cajun spiced chicken is an easy and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of the flavorful cajun spice mix and the creamy coconut milk creates a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
