Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step
0 mins

Sprinkle both sides of chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. (1 minute)

03

Step
15 mins

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)

04

Step
12 mins

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)

05

Step
7 mins

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)

06

Step
5 mins

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.

    My kids devoured this! I used mild Italian sausage instead of jalapeno sausage for a less spicy version.

  • Caroline Bailey

    I recommend using andouille sausage for an authentic Cajun flavor!

  • Dahlia Monahan

    This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy weeknight! The flavors were amazing, and it was so easy to throw together.

  • Easter Gottlieb

    I loved the creamy sauce and the kick from the Cajun seasoning. I added some shrimp for extra seafood flavor!

  • Cassandra Gulgowski

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