Cajun Chicken Pasta Casserole Recipe

August 3, 2015 by Aimee Broussard 2 Comments

With back to school right around the corner, do yourself a favor and add a multitude of quick and easy meals, like this recipe for Cajun Chicken Pasta Casserole, to your repertoire now, while you have the chance. This casserole is delicious and comforting, and it couldn’t be easier to prepare.

Despite the name, this Cajun Chicken Pasta Casserole is not at all spicy so don’t let the word “Cajun” prevent you from trying it. I was having a conversation the other day and a lady (who lives in Florida) said to me, “Louisiana food is just so spicy that I don’t really care for it. I hope your new cookbook isn’t just Louisiana food”. For a moment, I was a little offended, but then I thought about the food that I eat and ironically, while I love the food in my state, I personally don’t like a lot of spice. I’m an anomaly in Cajun country for sure. With that being said, and out of the way, this dish has just enough spice to keep it from being bland, but not enough to make the children cry.

The bow tie pasta is a nice little addition, but this casserole can be made with whatever pasta you have on hand. I’ve had it with shells and it was just as satisfying. It’s one of my go-to meals because minus boiling the pasta, everything can be made in one pot. Hooray for easy clean up!

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up some Cajun Chicken Pasta Casserole of your own:

    Can you add shrimp without it taking away from the flavors?

      It probably wouldn't change it too much, but shrimp does lend an overall flavor to most dishes when cooked in so just keep that in mind!
