Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (divided)
  • 5 cups chicken stock (or 4 cups chicken stock + 1 cup water)
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (undrained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (at or close to room temperature)
  • 1 cup ditalini (or other small pasta, dry)
  • 1 pound chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan (at room temperature)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic for about 5 minutes until tender. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
  2. Remove from heat and mix in chicken stock, diced tomatoes, and heavy cream. Return to heat and bring to a boil before reducing to medium simmer.
  3. Add dry ditalini to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
  4. Season chicken breasts with remaining Cajun seasoning. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook chicken for 6-10 minutes until fully cooked. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
