How do you make a Chili’s Cajun chicken pasta recipe?

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 3 cups chicken breast, cut into 1×4-inch pieces
• 4 Tbsp olive oil (not extra virgin)
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 Tbsp. chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• salt to taste
• 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
• One lb. penne pasta
• Cooked according to package instructions and kept warm

Directions:

Step:1

In a large pan on medium heat, sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add the diced chicken to the hot onion and stir. Add cayenne pepper and chilli powder until the chicken is fully cooked. Also add oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and red wine (optional).

Step:2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne per package instructions for about 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside. Add the cooked sausage to the cooked penne and mix.

Step:3

Chili’s Cajun chicken pasta recipe with additional red pepper flakes to taste is ready. Add cooked pasta and mix everything. Add wine (optional) for a deeper flavour. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.

Step: 4

If you like your pasta a little bit undercooked, add it at this time to avoid overcooking it. Turn off the heat and place the lid on the skillet to keep the pasta warm. Serve.

Additional Tips:

1. You can vary the amount of chilli powder and cayenne pepper to taste.
2. You can add a sprinkle of cheese or shredded cheese instead of parmesan, or use either to make cheesy stuffed shells.
3. You can also leave out the pepper and use chicken broth if you do not have an acid, such as wine, in your pantry. 
4. You can reduce calories by using less oil (1/4 cup), but still have a tasty meal.

Precautions For Recipes:

1. Check the ingredients before you cook to ensure they are within your dietary restrictions. Elements such as salt, sugar, and high fat may harm your health.
2. Check the expiration date on your canned goods before using them for recipes because canned foods tend to spoil quickly in a warm environment like a home kitchen. 
3. Check the label for the expiry dates of any spices and herbs you plan to use.
4. All of these cooking oils may contain high levels of cholesterol that can increase your blood levels.
5. Allergies are life-threatening conditions that indicate a food allergy and an allergic reaction to a particular food or additive, such as an allergen.
