To make my Cajun chicken pasta one pot we're going to start by preparing all the
0:06
vegetables and thinly slicing your chicken breasts. Then you're going to heat
0:11
your olive oil over a high heat for about one to two minutes until hot and
0:15
shimmering and then add in your sliced chicken. Add a little salt and pepper and
0:21
then continue to fry for about six minutes until seared all round and cooked
0:26
through in the middle. Then remove the chicken using a slotted spoon allowing
0:31
the juices to stay in the pan and set the chicken aside while you carry on
0:35
with the rest of the cook. Then turn the heat down to medium-low add your sliced
0:40
onions and peppers and fry stirring often for about three minutes just until
0:45
they've started to soften. Then add in your garlic, your smoked paprika, a little
0:51
cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and then stir for one minute. Then add in your hot
0:58
chicken stock followed by your hot water, your dried oregano, your dried thyme and
1:06
your pasta. Then just stir until well combined and you're going to turn the
1:12
heat up to high, bring to the boil and then turn it down slightly to medium and
1:18
continue to cook for about 14 minutes stirring often until most of the water
1:25
has been absorbed and then when there's about that much water left and the
1:28
pasta is tender you can add your chicken back in. Then just stir that through
1:33
until it's coated in all the sauce and continue to cook for two minutes
1:38
stirring every now and then. Lastly remove the pan from the heat and stir
1:44
through the cream cheese until it's completely melted and then you're ready
1:48
to serve
