Ingredients

  • 450 g cajun chicken I used my air fryer cajun chicken recipe
  • 225 g fusilli pasta uncooked weight
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • Splash of oil
  • 100 ml soft cheese I used a low-fat version to make this lighter
  • 200 ml chicken stock

Instructions

  • If you're making your cajun chicken from scratch then do this first.
  • Slice your cooked cajun chicken finely.
  • Cook your pasta according to the on packet recipe, reserving a splash of the pasta water when draining to thin your sauce slightly if needed.
  • Finely slice your onion and yellow pepper.
  • Cook the onion and yellow pepper for 4-5 minutes using a splash of oil (I use spray rapeseed oil) until almost cooked through.
  • Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the pan.
  • Then add the soft cheese and stir through.
  • Stir through the chicken stock.
  • Cook over a gentle heat for 2-3 minutes, until bubbling lightly.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add a splash of pasta water if needed to thin the sauce slightly.
  • Serve and enjoy!
