Directions
Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta With Bacon, This is my version of this popular dish use heavy cream, evaporated milk and sour cream for some seriously creamy comfort add a bit of crispy bacon and I’m in heaven I’ve actually left this in the crockpot on warm for up to 5 hours and it works out fine You just have to under cook the pasta a bit and double or even triple the sauce , I made this dish last week I made it a shrimp and chicken combo and instead of whipping cream, I just used a garlic alfredo Prego sauce This recipe is AMAZING!!!! A cooked it for a date and had him in the palm of my hand LOL Would 1000% recommend and will definitely do it again :), This is an excellant dinner I made it as the recipe called for and it came out perfect I will make it again and try adding different vegies mushrooms, broccoli and even corn would be very yummy in it Thanks for the easy homemade better than Zatarains recipe
