For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
Sprinkle both sides of chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. (1 minute)
Grill chicken breast and sausage on the preheated grill until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; rest for 5 minutes. Cut chicken and sausage into bite-sized pieces. (15 minutes)
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook farfalle at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. (15 minutes)
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken and sausage pieces; reduce heat to medium-low and stir in 1 cup half-and-half. (8 minutes)
Whisk cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half in a small bowl until smooth; stir into skillet until sauce simmers and thickens, about 5 minutes. Toss in farfalle until coated; season with 1 pinch Cajun seasoning and dried basil. (7 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Feb 16, 2025I found the sauce a bit too thick, so I added some chicken broth to thin it out. It was perfect!
