Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Very easy dish to make that everyone in my household enjoyed! Paired it with some Red Lobster cheddar biscuits and wrote it down in my recipe book to make again!

Will be cooking this again. We cooked this as a family and it tasted amazing

Really good personally less oregano and thyme, and add cheese and garlic

It was delicious just as the recipe said.

was very good, needs more garlic imo!

Too much spice, and I don't like the taste.

Best pasta I've ever made, worth the shot. Do note that if you use a type of pasta that takes longer to cook, you should boil it separately before adding it, mine turned out very Al dente

Super meal. Definitely takes longer for the penne to cook than stated in the recipe method, mine was perfect after 30 minutes. This is definitely a go-to recipe.

Delicious 😋 I didn't have any oregano, so I used mixed herbs instead of individual herbs. Had to add more water and cook for 5 mins longer as pasta wasn't cooked enough.

The creator might have used a different kind of smoked paprika, luckely I realized in time that mine is pretty strong. The idea is good, nice pasta.

This was amazing and delicious will definitely be making this again. This is the perfect recipe for learning how to cook im 13 and made this dish easily.

A sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top add s a little extra

Was confused about when to add the chicken back it doesn't tell you when unless I missed it 🤔

delicious

Added a little more cream cheese to thicken up. This is a great base for many dishes

Was delicious! We used spicy chicken broth for some added kick! It turned out amazing!

I added broccoli too 😋

Quite delicious.

Delicious, I didn't follow the spices recommendation amount, I just kind of winged it & when I ate it, it needed salt.

Modified for picky kid - took out tomato chunks and replaced with smooth tomato sauce. Used premix Keg cajun spice and omitted onion. She would eat it again, so a win!

I used store-bought cajan spice and maybe used too much as it overpowered the taste. Adding more cream cheese made it better.

Really good

I took the cayenne out, changed the smoked paprika to plain and the hot tomatoes to plain. Was so good. Even my 3yr who only eats sandwiches ate it!!!

It’s VERY GOOD! but it’s not for everyone! I don’t know if I did something different but it was VERY spicy haha! But it’s definitely something I’ll try again! Me and my boyfriend loved it.

Tastes exactly like tomato soup, I don't like it

Not my cup of tea but my family loved it ❤️

Had to add more water and salt, but otherwise, good! Will skip the oregano next time.

The whole family enjoyed it. I made too much because you know, pasta! I thought I was going to have leftovers for days. My fiancé gobbled it down. My 7 year old is a picky eater and barely eats. She went back 4 times for more. Needless to say, it was all gone by the next day. Fiancé said we must have this again.

Khensi cafe and I only need to reschedule

It was yummy

We added shredded cheese. Alittle dry, but will make again.

OOHHH MAAAAH GAWWWWD

I was a little worried about the amount of seasoning, but it wasn't bad. It has some heat but not too much, IMO. I did have to add more broth and cook the pasta a little longer. My daughter found it grainy, but i didn't really notice that. Notes to myself for next time: move from skillet to pot before adding pasta. Trade fire roasted tomatoes for regular. Half the smoked paprika and replace half with regular. Reduce the thyme. Go heavier with the salt. Maybe add some fresh garlic.

I don't think I did this right.

Don't need the cream cheese. Use cream for lighter

Very delicious and yeah recommended

LOVED IT. subbed whole wheat penne for protien penne and added more cayenne for extra spice. it was delicious

So delicious

This recipe requires a lot of spices (which we don't have most of it) so we replace some of them but it still taste so nice and easy to make.

Absolutely delicious!! Added 1/4 sun dried tomatoes because I had to use it up. Don't know if it made a difference or not.

Lovely. Quick and easy. Will add mushrooms next time. Not a fan of thyme so I used parsley and a touch of coriander instead. Will definitely make this again.

Absolutely delicious, kinda spicy tho 🥵

Good and easy. Could use more cream cheese. Use already made Cajun seasoning vs !using all the different ones.

It was delicious, a new household staple

Nice recipe

I used 1/6th of a tbsp cayenne, will use 1/8th next time. Also used more cream cheese than stated. Was pretty yummy. Will defs make again.

Use half or no cayenne if you have kids and if using salsa style fire roasted tomatoes.

Delicious

Very nice, but because it’s so creamy it’s best with a fresh salad on the side

Good with side salad

Wow it came out amazing.

It's a really good recipe, especially for a big family dinner quick, easy, and very good

The only thing was I preboiled the pasta which made the pasta soggy, otherwise it was a pretty exciting meal and has definitely spiced up my dinner menu

Pasta took a little longer to cook. Overall the flavor was really good

Not a do over. Did not like the grainy texture of the Cajun spice

This was delicious and super easy to make. Used seitan in place of chicken, regular pasta (not whole wheat) cause that is what I had, and Cajun seasoning vs. individual spices. Added a little bit of shredded cheddar and some extra salt and pepper at the end. It was perfect. Would definitely make again.

I can say , I really tried but it didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted. But nonetheless I enjoyed it🤤

Really good!

It was really nice, simple and quick to make

Was unsure about adding fresh Thyme or dried so I just did both. Next time I will just use dried. Also didn't have chicken stock so used veggy.

Added extra liquid

I didn't think it was going to be spicy. It was good, though. I didn't do it exactly how the instructions said. I also added my own seasonings.

Really good 10/10

Turned out well, a bit too much sauce though. Maybe next time I'll go with less chicken stock.

Spice but delicious. Recipe makes 6 servings.

Was pretty incredible, I personally like a bit more chicken and sauce then the pasta but just more personal taste. The recipe itself was delicious, sauce thick and just all round great.

Used vegan chicken and it still came out great!

Added a bit more cream cheese, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Turned out so good. It was a hit with our family!

Excellent!

It was just okay. It's missing something. The green onions are a must!

Used double cream and cheddar cheese. Also a dash of Worcestershire sauce is perfect to add. I also don't like cooking pasta in the sauce so I cooked separately, added some pasta water tho.

I have to use gluten-free noodles. I also cooked them separately. The seasoning and taste is good. Next time I make this, I will cook the pasta with seasoning and not add the chicken. Pasta and sauce with a side salad and garlic bread.

I also par boiled pasta, cut chicken broth to 1 cup (as pasta was already almost fully cooked). I had an open container of whipping cream, used that instead of cream cheese. Also only had boneless skinless chicken thighs. Very good, will make again 👌

It was okay but i think maybe i added to much thyme so it tasted off to me every one else liked it i just wasnot a fan of it

Use way less thyme

Used cottage cheese instead of cream cheese for healthier option. Still tasted great. Forgot to add spring onions at the end. But decorated it with basil leaf instead.

Excelent mixtura of spice. Highly recommended

Had to cook this in the oven only and the result was very pleasing! Husband and children enjoyed it.

Super yummy and very spicy. Loved this recipe!

I'm not sure if dry pasta differs across Continents, but my penne sucked this dry - I had to add a lot of water to save this. Next time I'll pre-cook my pasta.

A bit spicy for my preference but my whole family loved this!

Added sausage.

It was ok. Could use more flavor. I should have added minced garlic

Too spicy

Was in a bit of a rush so the pasta wasn't as soft to eat as I would have liked, but overall, a very tasty dish and would happily make again 😄

It was really easy and super yummy! Not as spicy as i expected and i added a lot more seasoning than i normally would. I actually added some canned corn to it and it added so much flavor and was soooooo good. Will definitely be making this again!!!

I loved it! It was simply perfect... Just perfect. Though I didn't use all its ingredients like cream cheese for example, I really suggest this if you want to make a family dinner or something like that. But it's not the best choice for a quick brunch or late-night dish in my opinion.

Recently started to gym... And now at the point where I want to start watching my food intake and damn, if it tastes this good everytime I'll keep it up for sure! Great recipe. Can't wait to try more recipes! Ps: love the shopping list aspect, I am terrible in a store!

It wasn't very creamy. More oily than anything but still flavorful and very delicious. Used chicken thighs instead of breasts

Very tasty, could do with adding some other veg, courgette or broccoli for a bit of green.

Portioning is off. And it kinda turned into sludge.

I added some sliced red pepper as well. It's delicious, but next time I might kick it up a notch by adding some crispy chorizo to the pasta before serving, and using the rendered fat from the chorizo to fry the chicken and onions.

Was runny

The recipe was good. I put more chicken broth in than 2 cups to let the pasta cook better. Also I would put less than a whole onion and more cayenne pepper but otherwise really good.

Really easy and one pot meal. Flavourful

Good recipe, maybe a 1- time thing for me though. If you want to ensure your noodles are done, boil them separately. Otherwise, good stuff

Easy to make and really good 😋

Love this recipe.Very easy to make

Delicious and easy to cook 👍

pretty yum and very filling. would make it again (:

I used this recipe as a guide but didn’t have chicken so used the Costco tortellini and just made the base sauce and boiled the tortellini for 3 minutes in the mixture then served. My family enjoyed!

I added an extra cup of broth because the pasta needed more liquid to simmer in. I also added a quarter of a cup of fresh grated parmesan as well as a splash of half and half. Wilted some spinach in as well. It was great!

Too spicy for my family. But it's in the name. I edited it and made a version without the cayenne pepper. It was really good.

Nice

Lovely. Didn't change anything. Really easy to make. Thumbs up 👍👍

The over all meal was very good, I think I added too much thyme but it didn't ruin the whole experience.

I didn't have all the ingredients, so I substituted here and there, also added feta, was amazing nonetheless

Nice amount of spice. Super tasty.. good amount of food

Was really banging actually. I didn’t include onions since I didn’t have any on hand and I only used 1 teaspoon of chicken stock to a cup of boiling water.

S,

Super easy to make. And was tasty. Big thumbs up from our family

We loved it! Very simple and a great little recipe

Terrible meal prep option as the pasta was dry af after being refrigerated. However it was really good fresh. Will make again and find a way to make the meal prepping better. Added extra spice to give it an extra kick.

added 3 diced pickled hot peppers, used some tajin, and valentina hot sauce. plus added sour cream with the cream cheese. delish!

Delicious! Feeds about 4-5 people. I used a good bit of salt to really enhance the flavor every step of the way. I also ran out of chicken stock so I substituted it with water & white wine. I think I like it even more this way!

Excellent!!! I doubled the cayenne pepper and added chili powder to make it more spicy. Everyone loved it and asked if we could have it again.

More exact quantities of the tomatoes would be nice

I am pretty sure the bad flavor was from the fire roasted tomatoes, but the entire dish smelled like manure, like actual farmland manure. I will probably try again with non fire roasted tomatoes, because I do like everything else in this recipe. Yes, the can of tomatoes was just purchased a couple days ago and well within its expiration date

If I could cuss on here I would 😂😂 this shiz slaps

Super delicious and savory ! Highly recommend. Definitely add some parmesan to add some flavor. Doubled the chicken amount and used fresh tomato instead of canned. To compensate I added some tomato paste as well.

Try it with cheese

Do not use Rotel like I did! Just do the tomatoes and maybe less heavy handed with the cayenne and black pepper. Unless you like your food spicy. It's a bit too spicy for me but I was heavy handed and used the Rotel peppers and tomatoes. I will make it again without Rotel!

I used Slap Yo Mama seasoning instead of mixing it and it came out very salty without adding salt. Other than that it was good. Quick and easy.

Yes!

Nice

Made mine with pepper flakes for a small kick.

Lovely! The whole family liked it, including my 2 year old! I also added some frozen mixed Peppers.

Might modify a little next time - the smoked paprika flavor was a bit overwhelming, but I loved how all the other flavors came together and made a sweet and savory mix. I added more cayenne to the top of mine for more of a kick too

I added fresh Italian parsley, a tablespoon of pepper instead of 1/4, 1/3 cup grated parmesean, as well as 1/3 cup grated mozzarella. It was delicious!

I thought it was a little too watery before I added the chicken broth along with the cooking juices of the chicken, but it turned out great 👍🏻

We loved it! Added a few more of the spices and a little bit of fresh garlic.

Delicious! Skipped adding more seasonings in with the onion Portions are HUGE! 2 servings is plenty for 3 Would be great with broccoli tender stems

Very GOOD everyone liked it!

I added 50g more pasta and used a whole 4 cup box of chicken broth, pasta needed more than 10 minutes to soften. Parmesan was a last-minute addition, but it pairs well. From prep to plate, about 50 minutes.

Very good, we enjoyed this one alot. Definitely great on the Cajun flavor.

Didn't have penne. Did have just enough tagliatelle though. Didn't really measure out the cajun spices, just eyeballed it. Swapped out chicken breast for deboned thighs and marinated them in the morning and put them in the fridge till needed with the spices and oil instead of just the spices.

It was pretty good. It'll be added to my rotation

I added some more chicken broth since I made the full package of penne, I also didn't have Cheyenne, so I hit it with some chili powder and it was delicious! Even my toddler loved it!

Scrumdiddlyumptious🥘😋‼️

Accidentally added like 5 times the cayenne pepper, but still delicious 😆

Interesting taste

Chicken turned out really pretty. I should have velvet the chicken, it would have helped. The seasoning came off of the chicken when I added it to the pasta mixture. I prepared it all separately and overcooked the noodles waiting for the sauce to thicken. It never thickened. I added cornstarch. Mine looked nothing like the picture. But it taste ok. I won't make it again.

Was very good and very easy, definitely make sure you have a BIG pan (or pot in my case) and I recommend to add vegetables. Once the water came to a boil I added some broccoli and red pepper. I also added slightly more cream cheese than the recipe called for, but that's up to preference. Overall delicious and will be making again!

Tried this recipe the way it is stated and definitely add more stock or water as my pasta soaked it up quickly but wasn’t fully cooked at the same time. Huge hit with my family has a good kick to it.

So tasty! But I don't recommend cooking it all in one pot. Boil the pasta seperate while you cook your chicken. Then removing the chicken to cook down the onions. Combine it all with less broth tomato juice. Let it simmer until thickened and you're done! I know the whole point of one pot meals is "ease" but I always run out of liquid and end up with overcooked protein and undercooked pasta.

Great! Added 1c more water and 1/4c additional cream cheese. Didn't have enough penne so I added lentil rotini and it turned out amazing!

Just OK. We won't make this again. It's easy to prepare

Nice

Tasty and easy, will be making again

I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome! This will definitely be part of the regular meal rotation. I don't know if I'm missing something with these one-pot pasta dishes, but the liquid is never enough to cook the pasta thoroughly. I added an additional 2 cups of stock when the pasta went in - and it turned out perfectly.

It was so good. My advice, don't add too much Cajun during cooking.

It was good! And way more than 4 servings. Instead of mixing my own Cajun seasoning, I mixed 1 Tbsp each of Cajun and Creole seasoning and added 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. I added a Tbsp plain yogurt to the chicken breast chunks and 1/2 the seasoning mix to marinate for about 10 min. I used a 28oz can of roasted tomatoes. I also only used 1c broth and 1c water to make sure it wasn't too salty. Plus I added fresh broccoli during the last 5 min.

We are thinking next time of adding sun dried tomatoes, and changing up the protein and using shrimp or andouille sausage. Possibly even adding a little more broth as well

Added some crushed red pepper for a little more spice: very nice. Also used wheat pasta, good stuff!

I followed the recipe almost exactly and it came out so so good! I wasn't expecting how big of a skillet you need. I started with a 12" pan because that's all I had, and I ended up cooking the rest in my biggest pot. So, make sure you have a very big, deep pot/pan like the recipe says. I'd recommend boiling the pasta most of the way before adding to the rest of the recipe. I accidentally boiled the pasta before realizing the recipe doesn't call for it. So, I added the 75%-boiled pasta to the rest of the ingredients, and it ended up being a perfect consistency in the end.

I used premade Cajun seasoning mix in the chicken about 5 tbsp and did a full brick of cream cheese. It was fairly spicy. I didn't add additional seasoning when adding the onion. We ate it with a garlic pull apart loaf and salad. Will be adding to the meal rotation.

Modified a bit with dried chilies. Pretty good!

Really tasty! Added some fresh chopped tomatoes too 🍅

Went without a hitch! Had the perfect spice amount for the family!

A little over powering but hearty

Whole going over the recipe, I thought the amount of smoked paprika was excessive but I followed the recipe to a T. Turns out it was way too much smoked paprika. I don't know if I would just cut back on the amount and that's all or replace some of it with something else, but I'll experiment a bit in the future.

Much spicier than anticipated- but still yummy

Just used cajun seasoning and used chicken thighs instead. came out well 👍🏻

Was super easy to make, I put less Cajun seasoning so my daughter could eat it too- and it was delicious! Everyone wanted seconds!

I cooked everything in a pot since I don't have a large enough skillet, but I otherwise followed the instructions pretty closely. I added more broth (another cup), as others have stated to get a consistency that I liked. Based on another person's suggestion, I added spinach, as well (about a cup). I added it frozen at the last stage of the cooking process, and let it defrost between the bottom of the pot and the hot pasta. Then I stirred to distribute evenly along with the cream cheese. Overall, I'm quite pleased!

Add orange and yellow peppers

If you have Cajun seasoning on hand, you don't need to make the seasoning blend. Only 2 Tbsp of seasonings are needed. Has good flavor with a bit of a kick. 7/10

I added a little bit more of the spices and I also needed more water after adding the pasta, but the recipe was overall pretty good. I recommend adding more of the spices mentioned and maybe even adding tomato paste, as it enhances the "tomato-ey" flavor.

Simple and yet healthy and delicious! Tastes even better with some grated parmesan on top.

This was really good and I will absolutely be making it again in the future!

The food was good. It turned out great and tasted pretty good. However the recipe wasn't very clear with the instructions.

Makes 4 lb 4 oz for 4 servings

Not sure it came out as tomato-ey or creamy as the pictures I saw but the I made it still tasted pretty good

Delicious and creamy and everything mixed together really well.

Needed more liquid to cook pasta.

Love that this app is so easy to use, the timer is a great asset.

Add thinly sliced red peppers and frozen peas, don't put too much spice

Love it. Had a kick to it but not too much. Very filling, only thing i did differently was i used 2lbs of chicken and 2 cans of mild Rotella.

I used 250g pasta instead, it worked well. The seasoning is fantastic.

Not too spicy to handle and makes an overwhelming amount haha. Definitely would make again!

This one looks good ngl

Enjoyed this one. I added more veggies during the cooking process, will certainly cook again.

Big pan. 2 things of cream cheese. Rotel works for fire roasted tomatoes. Add steamed broccoli and mushrooms. Full container of chicken broth

Added spinach and broccoli. Seemed to have a nice kick too it. I mixed the chicken with some olive oil and the seasoning and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Sauce was a bit runny. If add more cheese next time and less chicken broth.

Great dinner only note is pan must be very large have to switch the a pot halfway through.

I added a few different ingredients (brandy with the onion and roquefort to the cream cheese) and boiled the pasta separately. Delicious!

I swapped the cream cheese out for thickened cream! Was lovely

Really enjoyed this. Didn't use all the seasoning, which may be why I didn't think this was really spicy, just gave a nice kick. Added some leftover yellow peppers and let it simmer a little longer before adding the cream cheese. Plenty of leftovers since there were only 2 of us. Definitely going on the rotation.

Different noodles but good.

I think we went overboard on the spices here. The recipe tells you how to make the seasoning but doesn't give guidance on how much of that seasoning to use. I didn't use all of it and it was still too much. I would make again with alot less because of how easy it was to make.

It was delicious! Toddler approved

Very simple and easy to follow recipe. Everything cooks in one pan so clean up is minimal. Very little active effort required, no sophisticated appliances necessary simply dice an onion and chicken. We do like a spicy dish and this one was quite tame. I would at least double the cayenne pepper and I will add a diced Serrano pepper or two to the onions when I make this in the future.

Z

We don't like real spicy so I cut back the paprika and eliminated the cayenne pepper. Real easy recipe and all done in one skillet.

I would shred the chicken next time otherwise it was termed the “yummy meal” by my 8yo!

It was alright

My husband enjoyed the spice! I followed the advice from some other notes and added some cheese to my bowl to cut the spice and it was good. I did double the amount of broth though to get my pasta to cook properly. Again following others advice to remove the lid while simmering so it wasn't too watery. All and all pretty good!

Spicy, creamy, and overall delicious. Cajun seasoning gonna be one of my favourite from now on :)

It was pretty good. My family liked it so that's a win. I added more broth and pasta than the recipe called for though

Add a vegetable

Needs spinach or something.

Super good! Tasted like something you would find in a restaurant. Honestly if I would make it again I would just use Cajun seasoning and not go thru the hassle of all the spices. That is the majority of the work.

Mxe60

Add cream of chicken soup and chicken

We loved this dish. Too spicy for our kid, so we plan on doing 1/4 tsp instead tbsp of cayenne

This was just perfect, quick, and easy. Only thing is I would cook the onions just a little before the chicken and (because my sister doesnt like pasta with a bite) I would cook the pasta for a little bit before adding it to the mix. Might also add some more cayenne(used cayenne chilli pepper) to give it kore of a kick as the cream cheese takes that away

Instructions could be clearer. For example: The seasoning blend amounts are for the entire dish. You break the amounts in half. Half for the chicken. Half for the onions. Don't put 2tbsp of smoked paprika in there. It says to cover and bring to a boil after you add the pasta, stock, and tomatoes. It doesn't say to uncover when you lower the heat to med low... but you should. It will help reduce the fluid more and thicken the sauce better. Use more cream cheese than it calls for. I used about half a brick. All in all, not a bad dish.

Despite the abundance of spices it wasn't super flavorful, I added some shredded cheddar cheese I had and that definitely helped.

It was just okay

I didnt have a lot of the seasonings so used others and still turned out great! Really rich really filling pasta

Add a small can of tomato sauce and extra cream cheese, so much better with extra sauce.

Substituted the penne pasta for elbows

Really creamy if you add Parmesan cheese i little spice but it’s really good

Tasted good, but nothing special

I thought I would like this a lot more than I did. I first thought the measurements HAD to be off, because nothing I've ever cooked uses that much Smoked Paprika. Everything about this was just so not me, the texture, the taste, everything about it was off. I'd have to do a lot of tweeking to make this enjoyable.

used fetacinni noodles and fresh gratted cheese

I added cajun sausage and mozzarella chz! It was amazing!!

Loved it, tasted great my kids loved it but I didn't put chilli in it definitely making it again

Went by the recipe s and it turned out great! This is our second time.

This might be the new go to favorite! I do tend to season with my heart, so I guessed on measurements. But oh my goodness, this was absolutely delicious! Hubby added some shredded parmesan and I tossed on some microgreens. Just amazing.

Quick and easy; becoming a family favourite.

Muy rica , nosotros en lugar de pollo usamos chuleta, algo de tocino y agregamos pimientos, la combinación de sabores es deliciosa

Good

Very good recipe! Full of flavor and a tiny bit of heat (probably could’ve used a little more). If your sauce doesn’t look very thick, just keep adding the cream cheese. It thickens the sauce really well if you use maybe a little more than advertised, but you may not need to!

Delicious, I will definitely make it again, but I would cut down the pasta it was way too much because it was so filling. The sauce came out lovely and thick

I used chickpea and lentil pasta instead. I think since I used an alternative pasta, I should have cooked it in the pan with the chicken. I used too much sour cream so it ended up tasting more like a curry.

Easy dish to make, added Mozzarella to the topping.

I always have trouble cooking pasta in an already working pot but I just added more chicken broth and cream cheese and it worked. A splash of water when reheating made it perfect! Came together really quick.

Très bon, j'ai mis plus de fromage à la crème qu'indiquer (ajuster au goût). Nous étions 4 et tout le monde a adoré! Je vais refaire la recette assurément. Really good, I put more cream cheese than it was indicated (put as much as you like it). We were 4 and everybody liked it ! Will do again for sure.

I think I was missing something with this that made it so well-liked, it was fine but didn't blow me away, I kind of wish there was a 'made it but it was just ok' option. Dislike seems stronger than I intend. I may try it again in the future and see some of the adjustments other users have made. I think I might try chicken thighs instead of breast too.

Easy one dish recipe, didn’t have any cream cheese so added some double cream instead. Also added a jarred roasted red pepper will definitely make again

Add more cayenne for better spice and more cream cheese

This was so yummy I loved it! Would definitely make it again. Mine was a little watery so I added cream cheese to thicken it up and because my boyfriend and I absolutely love cheese I sprinkled a out a cup of cheese over top, put a lid over it and had it melt on low. So wonderful 😊

Very delicious, a bit spicy but not too spicy

Base recipe is good, but needs tweaked. I happened to have cajun seasoning on hand, so I used that. Definitely needed a lot more seasoning on the chicken and pasta. I also ended up having to add around an additional cup of chicken broth to get the pasta cooked as well has half a brick of cream cheese. Some mentioned adding shredded mozzarella which made it good!

It was a good recipe, needs more spice for my liking tho!

Unsure how I feel about this. I followed others and made the pasta on its own. I did a whole block of cream cheese and added broccoli. Once it was done cooking it was very runny. This photo was after about 20 min? I think it needed a bit more salt for my taste and a bit more spice. I just measured with my heart on the cayenne. Will probably cook again

Used chickpea pasta and paired with cornbread. Turned out good!

Way too much seasoning

Had to almost triple the spices but super good!

It's okay, I thought it was lacking some flavor but it was okay for a quick meal

hubby approved & just as good, reheated the next day ❤

Boiled pasta separate for 10 mins then mixed it in. Added a full block of cream cheese instead of 1/4 cup. Also added honey at the end to offset some of the spice because my husband is a sissy when it comes to spicey food.

I added fresh grated Romano cheese on top. Great recipe!

Looks and tastes fantastic! Next time I might boil the pasta separately for sometime first and then add it to the tomato and broth mixture but otherwise a great recipe!

Tastes lovely, huge amount of pasta (carbs) compared to protein (chicken) and recipe for 2 was huge! Too much for hubby and I though. Did cook pasta separately as others recommended. !

My cookware wasn't deep enough so I had to use too much water to cook the pasta properly. Will try again soon with this in mind.

Great recipe!

Too much paprika, the dish wasn't creamy enough in my opinion, definitely could use more cream cheese. Will not make again.

Added a bit of honey in the end to lighten the heat from the cayenne pepper

Use marinara

Nix the tomatoes and use paste next time.

Very nice I swapped the kind of pasta but next time I would make it a bit less spicy

super easy & delicious. added more spices, & cream cheese, and a bit of sugar because i replaced the can of tomatoes with tomato sauce & diced tomatoes. less than an hour to make and serve and barely any dishes

Absolutely amazing flavors, the sour cream really makes it thick so if you think you messed up just add the cream!👍

I won’t cook the pasta in it again. I rather will cook seperate and add to sauce before serving

Will definitely make this again. But I'll use a store-bought Cajun seasoning. Will save tons of prep.

Kids wanted a bit less cayenne. Used thighs. All enjoyed.

Use less smoked paprika

added mozzarella too delicious

Tablespoon seasonings was fine. Mix spices and let sit on chicken with oil. Chicken breast was dry, I would use thighs. Covered to simmer and had too much broth at the end. I would uncover to stir frequently, every 3 minutes for sauce to reduce properly. Also, could use a little bit of sugar.

Delicious. Would recommend pairing with garlic bread. Will need to add it next time. I added quite a bit of water while stirring to avoid burning so it ended up a bit more runny than intended. Still was very flavourful. I also added some carrots in to include more veg to the dish.

It was a pretty easy recipe I will be making this again.

I added more broth and simmered for another 10 minutes to ensure the noodles were cooked, and added more cream cheese. I agree with other reviewers that the spices could have been more "cajun" in flavor, but it was still good!

Made it vegetarian without the chicken. It was so yummy!

Too watery, spicy without the flavor. Really underwhelmed

Good!!

Would definitely cook the noddles before hand a least a little. Also, I don’t recommend mixing up the cayenne and paprika…

I never follow instructions (I've been cooking for more than 50 years), but the overall idea sounded wonderful! While I changed a few things, adding vegetables (summer squash and collards), and reducing the amount of hot seasoning, it turned out to be a big hit with my husband and me!

I add mozzarella cheese, a little more cream cheese, and season a little bit more

It’s a keeper, with some modification. The spice mix is extremely bland. Didn’t taste Cajun to me. I think I’ll look for another recipe for Cajun seasoning to use instead. I added some Slap Yo Mamma Cajun seasoning to get flavor, but may have overdid it, as that stuff is HOT! My adult son is starting to get into spicy food and he couldn’t handle it.😂 I also had to add almost twice the broth to get the pasta done Al dente. I used whole wheat penne. I loved the one pan to mash it and in the end it came out fantastic. We have also gotten about twice the servings from this recipe than indicated and we like big portions.

We like spicy food, and this was very mild. So for those who also like hot food, add some extra spice to taste. Overall it was very good.

Yes, teaspoons rather than tablespoons. The only things I changed was using regular penne instead of whole wheat, regular diced tomatoes instead of fire roasted, red onion instead of yellow, and chili powder instead of cayenne pepper. Came out great! Not spicy for me and even my very picky five year old daughter said she like the chicken. And for those wondering, you put in uncooked pasta.

Really good. Made it with passata instead. Made '2 servings' but I'd recommend adding the spices relevant to 4 servings as the Cajun was a bit diluted, could have been passata alternative though

Such banger food

Used all dried spices and sprinkle coated chicken. Very good. Might added sliced cherry peppers and/or jalapeno for some more spice. Definitely in the rotation.

Came out very well! I have picky eaters (pasta with sprinkle cheese and a meatball in a seperate bowl kind of people) but I almost doubled the seasonings, as my family likes spice, and added some heavy cream at the end for a better consistency and it was perfect Definitely going to make it again

Used teaspoons and it was delicious.

I think they confused tablespoons with teaspoons. So much seasoning I couldn't breathe lol. Added tomato paste and heavy cream to salvage

Middle loved it. Used chopped up left over fried chicken breast cause it needed to be eaten.

Delicious!

Even my one year old baby loved it

It was pretty good. I dailed back the cayenne, but I probably didn't need to. Pretty simple, worth making again.

a bit too hot for my wife’s taste very good

Denne var kjapp og enkel og falt i smak hos gutta.

ok

I added less cayenne pepper and it was still a little spicy

It was good. A little hot for the wife

Really good!

Delicious

It was ok, but think next time I'll not add thyme as it didn't really suit the meal in itself.

I got really sick after making this one. It's tasty, but because of that I would never do it again

Very happy with how it turned out, however next time I'd either boil pasta separately or add more tomato sauce.

Yummy! We like spicy food so added a bit more Cayenne to give it a bot more kick.

My one year old loved it

Was good

Didn't look as pictured.

If I was to make this next time I would add some greens and more cream..the spices imo does over power the overall flavour.

May use sausage next time instead of chicken

Didn't have any cream cheese so I used about 3 tablespoons of sour cream, 1/3 cup of heavy cream & added spinach. I loveeeeee tomato dishes with spinach. Will make again. 😋

Splash of Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving can brighten up the flavors and add a touch of acidity, balancing out the richness of the creamy sauce.

I made with andouille sausage instead of chicken. I put a little cheese on top and this was a hit in my house! Enjoy!

Add some hot sauce

Used more cream cheese. Also, I cooked noodles before adding since recipe wasn't clear.

Mine came out very spicy (my bad since I added cayenne again on step 3), and one of the herbs is too strong for me, not sure which one. Will try to reduce those two next time. Other than that, it was pretty good

I had a leftover cream cheese from a cheesecake and found this recipe. Really suprised by how yummy it is. I personally hate cheese but adding cream cheese to the sauce helped thicken it without giving it the cheese flavour. I used turkey instead of chicken and it was just as good! will do it again in the future

I used about 350 g of chicken and 200 g of andouille sausage, 150% more butter, oil, cream cheese, and 200% more chicken broth that I made in a slow cooker the previous day. Also added a tad bit more cayenne and garlic for the perfect kick on the back end. Next time I'll use some freshly minced garlic.

This was such an easy and delicious meal! It’s going on the list of favourites.

Was out of broth so I boiled the noodles separately and used 1 cup of pasta water. Also added a little pizza seasoning and mozzarella with parsley sprinkled on top. Yummy

Realy good ! I add some Parmesan in and on the top and its perfect!🤌

I added cream to mine instead of cream cheese. And I put it on my freshly made whole wheat papardelle! It was heavenly! 🤤 P.S. i don't know why it's not as red in the photo as it is irl. Lol

I thought it was good but I like heat and I am probably going to add more to it. I will add another can of diced tomatoes, probably a pepper or a few, and maybe more chicken. Just a preference.

I can not be more pleased with this meal... I love spicy food so this was just right. I did have to add more cayenne pepper to my own bowl because I like the heat. My family, however, loved this meal and have requested this for many dinners into the future.

Venison polish sausage instead of chicken. 1 tbsp of Epicure Cajun Fries Seasoning. Instead of the listed seasonings. Delicious 😋

Used egg noodles instead and added some Chipotle pepper powder to give it a lil more kick. Also useful 8oz of cream cheese

Tastes good!!!

I went and followed almost every step to a t and there was not excess liquids and the noodles didnt fully cook.

This was easy and fun to make! I would say a little less broth if you want it dryer. And add shredded cheese to the top.

I used sausage instead of chicken and beef broth instead of chicken broth but it's still so good 10/10 would recommend

Super bland, this was just like sad spaghetti, there was no spice to it at all, which I was expecting.

very good!!! we added more pasta and chicken to feed more people. has a nice kick to eat, definitely will be making again!

I didn't let the pasta boil for long enough, butbit was still tasty

Tastes great. The instructions around the pasta weren't clear so I ended up boiling pasta (probably too soft) and cooking it for 10 mins. I'd probably do the pasta at the end next time.

Used fettuccine because that’s what I already had and added more cream cheese and cayenne based off reviews, turned out pretty good!

Choose a pan big enough to fit everything! Simmered longer because pasta was still undercooked, so it was a bit drier. I would add more tomatoes (fresh or canned) next time, and more chicken. Followed others advice and added more cream cheese which was better.

Added more cayenne and a touch more cream cheese than what was called. Excellent easy weeknight dish regardless!

Doubled the cream cheese (HIGHLY recommend) and added extra cayenne because I love some kick. A warm and lovely dish that I will definitely be making again!!

Added more cream cheese and spice blend to taste as I was going, easy one-pot recipe that was quite enjoyable! Will definitely make it again.

Dish was great. Did it all one-pot. I upped the cream cheese to about 1/3 of an 8 oz block and saved about a 1/3 cup of pasta water to really thicken up the sauce. Used a premade Cajun seasoning I made that had more cayenne and it was perfect for the dish. Also I simmered for probably about 10 min more than the recipe and excluded the green onions. I would definitely recommend it.

it is great! i did NOT use chicken broth, or tomatos. i replaced the thyme with parsley. i used rotini instead of penne. i didn’t really follow measurements but evened it out to what i had. it is amazing. super nervous about adding cream cheese but it makes it super creamy !

The whole family loved it! I added more spices and did bell papers instead of onion (because my family is very anti-onion 😔) but it was so yummy! And we have extra for leftovers as well!

Food was good and plentiful! It did taste a little bland in my families opinion, so I recommend doubling the seasonings

Delicious, adaptable, easy to make

Didn’t have tomato canned, used fresh tomatoes instead, removed the skin and did a juice from some left tomato part. The taste is fantastic even with no cream cheese added. Didn’t add a cream cheese due to no lactose dieting.

Adjusted the amount of some things-- 8 oz of pasta, 2 oz cream cheese, 12 oz chicken breast, 1 habenero pepper, more cayenne.

Delicious 🤤🤤🤤

Delicious!

it was actually really good, i topped it with mozzarella and parmesan cheese (my favourite part )) personally don’t love tomato saucy foods but if you do then it’s great!

Used more cream cheese and substituted cayenne with chilli flakes and had to add 2 tablespoons of chilli sauce as it was a bit bland for my liking. A really great dish though that l will surely make again.

Added 4 oz. of cream cheese instead of 2. Also substituted chili powder for the cayenne.

Creamy Cajun chicken pasta. I added spinach and changed the noodle. Came out so good!

Kinda bland, not bad tasting but most likely won’t make again.

This was a hit for a family of 8, sooo good. 🤤 I didn’t have the cayenne pepper so I added chili pepper. Definitely will be making this again. I also used GF pasta as well.

Absolutely smashing!! I'm on a health journey and this is deffo on my list!! I am 100% using it for meal prep

So good! This recipe is so adaptable to what you have and how spicy you want it! Mine required a little more broth for the right consistency.

This was amazing my fiance and I are both picky eaters and we ate every last drop 10/10 highly recommend

I didn’t have canned tomatoes so added the only tomato based thing on hand, a jar of taco sauce. Turned out great

Added andouille sausage to this recipe and topped with parsley. I used Tony's Cajun Seasoning, Italian Seasoning, and onion powder instead of all of the spice ingredients. I added an extra cup of broth to make up for the extra meat and the penne turned out great! The meal was loved by all. Added 4oz of cream cheese. Next time I will use two cans of tomatoes.

Add more spice and use a skillet, not a pot

Followed the directions. Didn’t think it was spicy enough. Great flavor though! Noodles were hard to cook as the directions showed. Next time I will cook them separately.

I didn't have all of the spices for it so it wasn't spicy at all, but it was still very good and creamy 👍

The sauce was lacking complexity and I've struggled to cook through all the pasta in the same pan. Expected more.

A little spicy for my daughter, but I will make it again for guests!

So easy, creamy and delicious

I added spinach after reading someone else's comment and the entire dish was delicious. I know a lot of people warned that it was spicy but I LOVE spicy foods so I cranked up the heat a little bit! LOVED it!

Very delicious! I used vermicelli noodle instead because that's what I had on hand. But it tasted amazing. Will make again ❤️

Really yummy. I made it with gluten-free pasta and cooked the pasta separately, then mixed them together. It's a little spicy. My 9 year old said it was too much.

We substituted the fire roasted tomatoes for just regular petite diced tomatoes and it still turned out a little on the spicy side overall it was fairly delicious I would personally add a little bit more cream cheese it definitely made a decent size serving I used two chicken breasts one box of noodles and everything else by the recipe basically and it's definitely plenty enough to at least feed four to six people depending on who you're feeding LOL

Absolutely amazing! Such an easy dish to make!

Swapped out some ingredients to make it vegan, it's still a lot of flavour for very little effort. Extra points for only using one pan!

A really simple recipe that has a prominent spicy taste! The recipe really leans into the spices and makes it super easy to cook with everything being in one pan. Definitely a recipe I'll be making again!

Turned out very good. I used a white onion instead of yellow and left out the oregano because I didn’t have any and it was delicious. A little spicy.

So delicious! Also added ghost pepper rub and cajun seasoning to rub

Really good! I did it without Paprika because I can’t handle too much spice, turned out perfect’

Simple to follow and very delicious 😋

Used 1/3 cup sour cream instead of cream cheese -mixes better. Added pulled pork seasoning and Jamaican Jerk. Added fresh, chopped spinach for more nutrients! Amazing!

Spicier than I thought it would be. I made it with chicken thighs instead as it was cheaper for me in terms of upping the measurements to serve 5 and have leftovers. Swapped the onion and garlic powder for granules as it was all I had on hand for that, but everyone said they enjoyed it! If made again I think I'd go a bit easier on the spice, just for my personal taste. Generally pretty easy and straightforward to make though :)

I used a store bought Cajun seasoning and skipped the herbs and spices completely in the recipe. Made it suuuuper spicy and yum.

Super fast & easy! I like 😍

So good and so easy I added a bit more Cajun seasoning for a bit more kick meal prep for three days easy

It didn't seem to be too Cajun, so we added another cajun seasoning and cheese. Kids gave it an 8.5 because it had a kick, but it was good. Make you feel warm like soup does.

I made it and it was delicious! I am definitely going to make it again.

Very lovely. Added more pasta than the recipe said so it took a bit longer to cook. Would recommend adding some olives (as I did) to get a more herby-spicy (instead of just hot-spicy) taste. Also, shredded cheese is a must.

Could have been more spicy!

For my family I need to reduce the cayenne pepper. Also I added to many noodles so it wasn’t as saucy.

Loving It

I used large zipper back shrimp for a more authentic Cajun dish. It was absolutely fabulous!!

I don't have a picture but I made this last night & my fiance & I loved it!!

Didn’t have chicken or chicken stock. Substituted with chorizo and water, just added a bit more cream cheese at the end, came out tasting amazing.

I added poblano pepper to the recipe and it was great! I will definitely make this again with maybe even adding mild Italian sausage!

I was out of a few ingredients, so I had to substitute. It's pretty spicy but tasty. Next time I make this I'm definitely going to do things a little differently. Also added sour cream (to my own bowl) to tone down the spice.

A new favorite in my family!

Just wanted to do a quick picture while I was eating it. I used a little less of the Cajun because I have toddlers.. and I left it to sit a while so It wouldn't be so runny it was really good though would make it again.

Swapped chicken for Louisiana and mozzarella for cream cheese. Turned out great. Needs about 3 cups of broth btw(at least that's how much I used.

Looks and tastes good. Sauce ended up a bit runny but I don't mind. Definitely will make again.

Great meal! I added garlic and a few different spice but overall great!

Sauce wasn’t as thick as I was expecting but tasted nice

Added some sour cream for the spice but was delicious.

Great, perfect level of spice, especially as I can’t handle a lot of spice, pretty easy

No meat, started at step with onions and spices. Used chickpea protein gluten free pasta that I cooked before onions. Left some of the pasta water, added onions, 1/2 cup pasta sauce and 1/2 cup crema cheese, stored and ate.

Super easy, super tasty! Bf and I enjoyed it so much and made some red lobster biscuits for in the side. If you or someone else doesn’t like onions, use half an onion and mince it, flavor is still there but none of the texture.

Used bow pasta I didn't have panini. Turned out great! It is VARY rich so I served with a light salad. It was so good!

Was nice added kidney beans to beef up the sauce a bit. The chicken bland tho will cook it again soon to see if I can perfect it

It was ok. I didn't feel like it was worth the effort. Probably will not make again.

Second time around and loved by all the family.

Wow 👌

Made this several times before and today I added, green pepper, mushrooms and broccoli to make it a true one pot meal.

Very spicy but delicious and very easy to make

Delicious!!

Perhaps a bit extra water/stock and a touch more oil cooking the chicken

Used fusilli pasta instead which was very tasty and would recommend garlic bread as a side 😋

Added as much seasoning as suggested but final result was bland, needs way more than you think.

Used light cream cheese as a healthier alternative, that sprinkled with a bit of parm cheese to top it off. Awesome recipe!

It needs more garlic

Man, I love spicy but I could never handle it LOL. This was a delicious meal, easy to make and had more than enough for my weekly prep.
