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!
