Ingredients
  

  • 3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons Cajun Blackened Seasoning Divided
  • 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Minced
  • 1 medium White Onion Sliced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper Sliced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced
  • 3 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 medium Tomato Diced
  • 3/4 cup Green Onions Chopped
  • 1 pound Ziti Pasta
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • French Bread For serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat grill to medium heat.
  • Brush chicken with melted butter and rub both sides with 3 Tbsp of Blackened Seasoning. (Note: The remaining Blackened Seasoning will be used later.)
  • Place chicken on grill and grill over medium heat until done, flipping once (~6-7 minutes per side).
  • Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a deep sauté pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sliced onion and peppers; continue cooking over medium heat until onion and peppers are soft (~10 minutes).
  • Add the heavy whipping cream and remaining Blackened Seasoning. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes and continue cooking over medium heat until sauce thickens noticeably (15-18 minutes).
  • While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Once sauce has thickened, fold in the chopped green onions.
  • Divide the cooked pasta into 4 bowls and top with sauce. Slice blackened chicken breasts into strips and lay on top of pasta.
  • Finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with slice of crusty French bread (optional).
