Cajun Chicken

This is one of our family favorites.  It tastes like the Cajun Chicken Pasta at Chili's.  Okay not exactly like it but pretty close :)  And it's way easy!

  • 1/2 pound penne pasta
  • 1 jar alfredo sauce
  • 5 chicken tenders
  • 1 tomato
  • Cajun Seasoning--a little goes a long way. I use Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning that I got at good old Wal-Mart.
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, sprinkle chicken tenders on both sides with seasoning and grill them. (for my kids I just leave the chicken plain so they'll eat it) You can grill it on a George Foreman Grill or just your outside grill. Drain pasta and put it back into pot with the jar of alfredo sauce and I sprinkle a little of the cajun seasoning to give it a little kick. After in is heated, place pasta on plate top with chicken cut into strips and diced tomatoes. Enjoy!
