Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil
400g chicken breasts, chopped into large chunks
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
2 tbsp Cajun-style seasoning
400g can chopped tomatoes or passata
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
500g penne or another tube- shaped pasta
150ml double cream
20g parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
½ lemon, juiced
chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.

CAJUN PARTY CHICKEN BOATS



Cajun Party Chicken Boats image

These chicken breasts were like a "Pirouge" full of yummy crawfish!! The crawfish cooks down in the butter and onions. It's a perfect complement to the mild chicken breast. This is simple and will definitely impress guests. If you wanted to spice it up a bit, season your chicken with a little creole seasoning. An easy dinner recipe!

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 - boneless chicken breast
- salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound(s) crawfish tails with fat (in the seafood section at Wal-mart)
1 stick(s) real butter
1 bunch(es) green onions, sliced very thin

Steps:

  • Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Bake (just to brown but still very juicy) 20 to 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • Make a cut in the center of each breast without cutting all the way through. Pull into shape of a boat with a hole in the middle.
  • Saute crawfish with fat and onions in the butter. Add salt and pepper to taste... watch the salt.
  • Fill cavities of chicken breast with crawfish mixture and serve. I have what ever I am going to serve with it ready. I sometimes sprinkle minced parsley on top just before serving or put a sprig of parsley on the plate for color.
  • Personal Note: I have used this same recipe for broiled fish. I keep a couple of bags of crawfish tails in the freezer. They are found in the seafood section of most stores often in the frozen section. This make a great entree for a dinner party and it is a lot cheaper than beef and just requires a few minutes to make. Serve with a dessert and a nice loaf of crusty bread.
