Step 1
Cook and drain the penne according to package directions. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, then the onion and pepper and cook undisturbed, for 3 minutes. Stir in the andouille sausage and cook for 4 minutes or until the chicken is lightly browned and vegetables are tender.
Step 3
Stir in the sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center (with an internal temperature of 165°F). Serve over the cooked penne or stir to combine and garnish with the parsley.
