How to Make Voodoo Chicken Penne
- Cook 1 pound penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Prepare the Cajun Chicken:** Brush 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Generously season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
- Grill chicken breasts until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side), or bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts and arrange them on top of the pasta before serving.
