(oh, and p.s. I did forgot an important step/ingredient in this recipe!! That's what happens when you cook and take care of a sick kid at the same time) So this probably would taste 10x better with the... CREAM in it.... :-P haha ... I seriously thought something was off! Now I know...
- half a bag of rotini noodles
- 1 Tbs) canola oil
- 4 slices of Turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
- about 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 Tbs all-purpose flour
- 1 can (28-ounce) crushed tomatoes
- 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a skilled about medium heat. Add bacon and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, bell pepper, garlic, Cajun seasoning, and pepper. Cook stirring, until the onion and bell pepper are beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Add flour and stir to coat. Add tomatoes and their juice; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is bubbling and thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in sour cream. -----NOTE: I forgot about the sour cream!! Guess I left out the "creamy" part of my creamy cajun chicken) WHOOPS! - please include the cream people!
- Stir the pasta into the sauce
- Serve up! I sprinkled Parmesan cheese over mine :)
- ENJOY~
