ONE POT CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA | #Pastadishes #Quickandeasydinnerrecipes #Healthydinnerrecipes #Creamybeefandshells #Creamycajunshrimppasta #Mushroomrecipes #Dinnerrecipes #Stuffedchickenrecipes #Cajunchickenpastacreamy #Heavenlychicken #Sugarcookiebarseasy #Chipotlechickenpastacheesecake










Ingredients

  • CAJUN SEASONING
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • CHICKEN PASTA
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 lb. penne pasta
  • 15 oz. fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 3 green onions, sliced






Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Cut the chicken into 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes. Place the cubed chicken in a bowl, pour the Cajun seasoning over top, and stir to coat the chicken in spices.
  2. Add the olive oil and butter to a large deep skillet. Heat the oil and butter over medium-high until the skillet is very hot and the butter is melted and foamy. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for a couple minutes on each side, or just until the outside gets some color. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.
  3. Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and continue to sauté for about 2 minutes more, or just until the onion begins to soften. Allow the moisture from the onion to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Next, add the pasta, fire roasted diced tomatoes (with the juices), and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir just until everything is evenly combined, then place a lid on top and allow the broth to come up to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let the pasta simmer for about ten minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the pasta is tender and the liquid is thick and saucy.
  6. Add the cream cheese to the skillet in chunks, then stir until it has melted into the sauce. Top the pasta with sliced green onions and serve.

    Italian Cream Cupcakes | #Mexicanchocolatecake #Cookiebarsrecipes #Italiancreamcakecupcakes #Mexicandesserts #Dessertrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Cupcakesdecoration #Italiancreamcupcakes #Lemoncreampiecupcakes #Dessertcupcakes #Cupcakecookies #Yummycupcakes

    Ingredients

    • For the Cupcakes
    • 8 Tbsp (4 oz.) unsalted butter, room temperature
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 large egg yolk
    • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ cup buttermilk
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1¾ cups pecans, toasted + chopped (divided)
    • 1 cup coconut flakes
    • For the Cream Cheese Frosting
    • ¾ cup coconut flakes
    • 12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
    • 12 Tbsp (6 oz.) unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
    • 3–3 ½ cups powdered sugar
    • {optional garnish} maraschino cherries

    Instructions

    1. For the Cupcakes
    2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line standard muffin pan with paper liners; set aside.
    3. Using a countertop mixer, cream together butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy (~2-3 minutes on medium speed).
    4. Add egg and egg yolk; mix until just combined.
    5. In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt). In another bowl, whisk together the liquid ingredients (buttermilk and vanilla).
    6. Add ½ of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl; mix on low speed until fully combined. Add ½ of the liquid ingredients; mix on low until fully combined. Repeat with remaining dry and liquid ingredients.
    7. Once all ingredients have been added, scrape the sides of the bowl down with a spatula and mix on medium speed until batter is smooth.
    8. Fold in coconut flakes and 1 cup of the toasted, chopped pecans. (Note: The remaining pecans will be used to garnish tops of cupcakes.)
    9. Divide the batter evenly among cupcake liners. Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out mostly clean.
    10. Let cupcakes cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
    11. For the Cream Cheese Frosting
    12. Spread the coconut flakes out on a baking sheet; bake at 350°F for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. (Tip: Watch coconut closely as it can burn quickly!) Set toasted coconut flakes aside.
    13. Using a countertop mixer, cream together the cream cheese and butter until fully combined.
    14. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar (½ cup at a time) until frosting reaches desired consistency.
    15. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until fluffy.
    16. Once cupcakes are completely cool, fill piping bag with frosting and decorate as desired. (Note: I used a Wilton 1M large star tip.)
    17. Garnish tops of cupcakes with toasted coconut and reserved chopped pecans.
    18. {Optional} Garnish cupcakes with maraschino cherry before serving.
