Introduction
A comforting, family-style one-pot pasta bake loaded with seasoned chicken, broccoli, spinach, and pennoni pasta. Coated in a rich heavy cream sauce and baked under a bubbly blanket of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Step 1
Season the diced chicken breast with the Cajun spice blend and toss to coat thoroughly.
Step 2
Add a touch of flour to the seasoned chicken and mix well to help thicken the sauce later and prevent sticking.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken, and sear until browned and cooked 80-90% through.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and diced tomatoes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Flouring the raw chicken lightly helps prevent it from sticking to the pan and adds body to thicken the final cream sauce.
If you prefer not to use dry white wine, chicken stock, vegetable stock, or water can be substituted.
The sauce may seem slightly runny before baking, but it will thicken up properly in the oven with the pasta and cheeses.
Kitchen safety: Always wrap a dry cloth or towel around the hot pan handle when taking it out of the oven to alert others and prevent severe burns.
