How To Make creole chicken pasta

Step 1

CHICKEN... In a large bowl, place the chicken cubes and generously season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; stir to coat.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. When it sizzles, add the well-seasoned chicken cubes and sauté until no longer pink. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a bowl and set aside.
Step 3

SAUCE... In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp. oil. Add onions, celery, and mixed peppers; season with salt. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Step 4

Add pressed garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add Creole seasoning and mix to coat.
Step 5

Add tomates concassées, and stir for 2 minutes before pouring in chicken broth. Increase the heat to high, and bring the mixture to a boil; cook it down for 3 minutes.
Step 6

Reduce the heat back to medium, and add heavy cream; blend well and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 7

Return chicken cubes, including any accumulated juices, and increase to medium-high. When it starts simmering, cook for 2 minutes, stirring often; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8

Add the cornstarch slurry, and stir until the sauce thickens, about 45 seconds.
Step 9

Add the cooked, well-drained pasta, and stir until nicely coated.
Step 10

Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle on some fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
