This recipe can be made gluten free by using gluten free pasta, certified gluten free spices, and either a gluten free bouillon or chicken broth. I would still recommend cooking the pasta and the chicken immediately before serving. To finish the sauce before serving, heat the tomato sauce up, and once it’s hot, mix in the cheeses. You can make the tomato based sauce in advance, but wait on mixing in the cheese. The cream cheese starts to make the pasta stick together as it cools down, so I wouldn’t recommend this recipe for cold leftovers or for meal prep. If you’re prefer a Cajun taste profile, you can use Cajun seasoning to coat the chicken, and I’d definitely recommend adding in some bell pepper as a nod to the holy trinity of cooking that’s popular in Louisiana.Īlso, if you love Cajun flavors, be sure to check out my Cajun Butter Steak Bites recipe! It’s a really popular reader favorite. This recipe has a bit more of a spicy Italian vibe than it does a Cajun or Creole vibe. If you don’t like too much spice, then I’d lower the amount of the red chili flakes in the sauce.Īlso, if you really like a smoky flavor profile, you can swap the paprika for smoked paprika (if you love the Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta at Cheesecake Factory, I’d recommend making the paprika swap). If you like a lot of spice, you can add more cayenne pepper to the chicken. This recipe definitely has some spice, but the fat in the creamy sauce calms it down. If you’re looking for a way to use up the leftover sun-dried tomatoes in your jar after this recipe, I’d definitely recommend our super popular Marry Me Chicken recipe – it’s seriously SO good! Spices and Flavors: If you can’t find sun dried tomatoes, I’d recommend using fire roasted tomatoes instead. I also like adding some tomato paste to increase the tomato flavor in the sauce. To me, this sauce is all about the sun-dried tomatoes. You’re welcome to use heavy cream instead though – it just depends on which ingredients you prefer using and buying! Tomatoes: I am more likely to keep cream cheese on hand and it’s easier for me to find a way to use up the leftovers of a brick of cream cheese, so that’s what I wrote this recipe to use. You can make this recipe creamy by using either cream cheese or heavy whipping cream. If you want to add more vegetables, you could try adding in sautéed mushrooms, more sautéed onions, mixing in some fresh spinach at the end so that it wilts, or adding some broccoli so that you really bulk the meal up with a healthy ingredient. I like keeping this recipe relatively simple, mostly because it makes this a quick recipe to throw together. If you’d prefer something a little different, bacon, sausage, and shrimp would all be great protein options to play with. I love how chicken takes on the flavor of the dish, and I think chicken always pairs really well with creamy sauces. ![]() Optional Flavor Additions and Adaptations Meat: A small Caesar salad, roasted broccoli with garlic, and sauteed green beans would be my top choices. Garlic bread, a side salad, or roasted vegetables are my favorite side dish options for this recipe. Linguine is my favorite pasta for this spicy chicken pasta recipe, but spaghetti and penne would also be great options. Plate the pasta, and serve the thinly sliced chicken breast on top.
