1-First, season the chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then set up your breading stations. Mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in one bowl, beat 2 eggs in another, and combine 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs with 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a third. Dredge the thinly sliced chicken through the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumb mix for that crispy coating.

2-Next, heat 1/4 cup oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown. While that’s happening, cook 10 ounces of bowtie pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set it aside. In the same skillet, use 1 tablespoon olive oil to sauté 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 yellow bell pepper (chopped), 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/4 cup diced onion, and 2 teaspoons minced garlic until they’re tender about 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3-Now, for the sauce, melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet and whisk in 1 tablespoon flour to make a roux. Gradually add 2 cups heavy cream, 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens, then season with more salt, pepper, and cayenne if you like it spicy. Combine the cooked pasta and sautéed vegetables with this creamy sauce.

4-Finally, slice the cooked chicken and arrange it on top of the pasta mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley and a dash of cayenne for extra flair. This step-by-step approach ensures your Louisiana Chicken Pasta comes out just right, with crispy chicken and a rich, flavorful base that everyone will enjoy.
