One-Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta

Ingredients: chicken breasts, Cajun seasoning, red onion, garlic, penne pasta, heavy cream, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning on it, cook through, then transfer to foil and wrap to keep warm. Sauté the veggies until soft, add another 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning and cook one more minute. Add the pasta and cook about 12–13 minutes; stir in a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) to thicken the sauce, then finish cooking until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened (about another minute). Combine everything in a big bowl, stir in 1/4 cup cream and Parmesan, and serve hot. You can swap in other proteins or veggies if you like. Makes about 6 servings; leftovers freeze well.
