Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning and set it aside.
2. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Season the chicken strips with the Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are well coated.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink and has a nice sear on the outside, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
5. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and then add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they’re tender, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. Stir everything together, and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it in the creamy Cajun sauce until everything is well combined.
8. Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Enjoy your homemade Cajun Chicken Pasta! You can adjust the level of spiciness to your liking by varying the amount of Cajun seasoning you use.
