Cajun Grilled Chicken Pasta Bake
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cooking oil,( I used olive oil)
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup poblano peppers, diced
1 small red onion or yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 /2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
1 box penne pasta
1 24 oz. jar marinara sauce
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste, if needed
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
For the chicken marinade
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Old Bay Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons dried Italian-style seasoning
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
5 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions:
1. In a large shallow dish, mix the oil, Old Bay seasoning, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place the chicken in the dish, and turn to coat with the mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Drain chicken, and discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.
4. Allow the chicken to coo, then chop the chicken up in cubes.
5. Cook pasta according to directions on the box. Drain, but leave a cup of pasta water and set aside.
6. Next, add oil to a sauté pan and sauté the garlic, red pepper flakes and onions for two minutes on medium heat, then add the peppers, season with old bay and garlic powder.
7. Cook until the peppers are somewhat tender, the peppers will cook the rest of the way in the oven. Set aside.
Assemble:
Pour the pasta and pasta water into a casserole dish, season with old bay, to taste, then add the marinara sauce, next add the chicken and vegetables. Stir all the ingredients together, taste to see if you need to add more old bay, if so, add, then gently stir once more. Finally top with cheese and pop into the oven on 400, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Serve to Mom, with her favorite flowers and perhaps a box of chocolates.
Happy Mother's Day!
