Instructions

  • 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 Prego® Cajun Alfredo Sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Serve over the cooked penne or stir to combine and garnish with the parsley.
