Quick Cajun Chicken Penne image

I used to work at a restaurant that served a variation of chicken with penne pasta. I didn't know how easy it would be to make until I gave it a shot at home-now it's always a requested meal around my house. -Rusty Koll, Elmwood, Illinois

Not my favorite dish. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too heavy.

This dish was okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a little bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
