Step 1

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle the cubed chicken with ½ tablespoon of the cajun seasoning and toss to coat.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large stock pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for a couple of minutes on each side, or just until the outside gets some color. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds just to toast.

Step 3

Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, and the remaining ½ tablespoon of Cajun seasoning to the pan and stir to combine, while scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the saucepan. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, remove the lid, add in the pasta, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and let the pasta simmer for about ten minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the sauce.

Step 5

Remove the lid, add in cream cheese, and stir into pasta. Continue to cook the pasta uncovered and stirring often until the cream cheese has melted and the pasta has finished cooking about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Top the pasta with sliced green onions and serve.
