    Cajun Chicken Pasta. Delicious, flavourful and takes only 25 minutes to make! Perfect for dinner or lunch time!

    If you like spice, chicken and pasta then you will definitely like this cajun chicken pasta recipe! This is a satisfying meal that will truly hit the spot! It's also fantastic for meal prep too because it takes only 25 minutes to make!

    It's got a strong Cajun kick so if you can't handle too much spice, I would definitely reduce the amount of spice to half and avoid adding pepper.

    This is probably the best cajun chicken pasta recipe I've ever made and I'm thrilled to share it on the blog with you!

    About the Pasta

    I used Barilla Pasta for this recipe and learned that their company is huge on sustainability.

    They have a whole web page dedicated to treating the planet with respect by ensuring that their supply chains are sustainable from the fields to consumption. They make an active effort to reduce water consumption by -19%, energy by -5% and Co2 emissions by -23%.

    Also, their packaging across the company is 98% recyclable! For more information, check out their website: http://www.barillagroup.com/en/good-planet. It is so uplifting to see big companies like Barilla Pasta encourage and practice the idea of sustainability and I will definitely be making the switch over to using their products more often in my recipes 🙂 And I hope you do too.
