Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, divided
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup heavy cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup ditalini or small pasta, dry
  • 1 pound chicken breasts or tenders, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, room temperature
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • 1. Heat butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté 5 minutes until tender, then stir in 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning.
  • 2. Remove pot from heat, stir in chicken stock, diced tomatoes, and heavy cream. Return to heat, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • 3. Add dry pasta, cook 10 minutes stirring often to prevent sticking.
  • 4. Meanwhile, season chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Heat oil in a skillet over medium, cook chicken 3-5 minutes per side until done, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • 5. Off heat, stir in Parmesan until melted. Add chicken back to pot, simmer 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garnish with green onions.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced chicken breasts or tenders for quick cooking and maximum seasoning surface.[web:1][page:0]
  • Freshly grate Parmesan to ensure smooth melting; pre-grated contains anti-caking agents.[web:1][page:0]
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning for spice level start low if heat-sensitive.
  • For keto/low-carb, swap pasta for palmini noodles.
  • Garnish with green onions, bacon, or extra Parmesan for extra flair.
