Spicy food and Cajun flavors are always a hit in our house. This dish was definitely a winner! The flavors mingled perfectly to create a final product that was just delicious.
I started making this meal with just the knowledge that I wanted blackened chicken with some kind of sauce I could put over pasta. Once I had the chicken done, I just started adding different stuff together until it tasted the way I wanted it too. I’m always glad when the rest of the family agrees with my tastes.

If you want to do this meal in stolen moments style, it will work just fine. Toss the pasta with the sauce and refrigerate. Warm in the oven or microwave before eating.
