Instructions

  • Start by melting 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Easy does it, don't let it brown too fast.
  • Add your chicken breasts, and sprinkle on Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook them about 5-7 minutes on each side till golden and cooked through. Set aside after.
  • Dump the remaining butter into the same skillet, toss in the sliced smoked sausage, and let it brown up real nice for 4-5 minutes. That snappy smell means it’s ready.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. They soak up those tasty drippings.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for just about one minute until you can smell it gently cooking.
  • Pour in your chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the skillet bottom to loosen all those tasty bits. Bring this mix up to a simmer.
  • Slice your cooked chicken then toss it back in the skillet with the sauce and sausage mix. Stir everything to combine.
  • Now cook your penne pasta right in the pot with your Cajun spice, cream, paprika, garlic powder, Parmesan, sea salt and the sauce. Use a quick release here once timer done to keep pasta perfect. Stir gently and it’s ready to serve.
