Syn Free One Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta

I adore a good ‘one pot’ pasta recipe…because I absolutely hate doing the washing up! I know that washing dishes is a necessary part of doing a lot of cooking (which I do!) but that really doesn’t stop me hating it. So, any recipe which means I essentially just have a chopping board and a sauce pan to wash up is a massive winner in my books! Add into the mix that this Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta is absolutely to die for, and I was a happy bunny when I got to tuck into it!

If you’re unfamiliar with ‘one pot’ pasta recipes, essentially it does what it says on the tin – you cook everything in one pot! That’s not to say that everything goes in at the same time (although if you were to simplify things a lot then they could!), instead there are a couple of stages.

What it also means is that the water (actually it’s chicken stock) used to cook the pasta also then becomes the sauce for said pasta…it’s essentially a ‘self-saucing’ dish, which is quite satisfying in itself! That ‘self-saucing’ element is one of the reasons that this dish is so creamy and so packed full of flavour!

To make this dish even more creamy, I stole a technique from my carbonara recipe, and mixed an egg with some quark and stirred it in when the heat was turned off at the very end of the recipe. As it does with carbonara, the egg cooks from the residual heat without turning into scrambled egg, and along with the quark creates a silky smooth sauce. If you don’t have quark to hand you can use fromage frais too, and you’ll have the same outcome.

This recipe is of course completely syn free, which only serves to make it even more enjoyable! It’s a quick dinner option too, taking about half an hour in total, so it’s ideal for those mid-week evenings where you fancy something stodgy but without the guilt of a cheeky takeaway!

With this recipe you do have to keep an eye on it though, as you’re using less water than you would do to simply boil pasta until its cooked. This is because you aren’t draining the water out when you’re done, after all it’s your delicious sauce, so you have to get the balance exactly right to cook the pasta and create a sauce. This also means that you have to stir it quite a lot to stop it sticking to the bottom, but trust me the 10 minutes or so of paying attention to the stove is well worth it!

I stirred in some cheese along with the egg and quark when I made this dish, which I’ve included in the recipe, but that is optional. I used it as party of my HexA to make sure that this stayed syn free, if you don’t have your HexA left to use, or simply don’t fancy cheese, then don’t let that put you off though because it’s certainly not essential!

When I was thinking about this recipe, and working out exactly what to put in and what to include, I considered making my own Cajun spice seasoning. Whilst that’s really quite simple to do, and if you want to do so this recipe is gorgeous, I wanted to make sure that this recipe was accessible as one of those every day, whenever you fancy it, kind of meals, and so having all of the necessary spices to make a Cajun seasoning from scratch isn’t exactly ‘every day’!

I decided to use the delicious Schwartz Cajun Seasoning instead on this occasion which was just as tasty and about a thousand times less effort! I did use quite a lot of seasoning in this recipe, but as always with seasoning a dish it really does have to be up to your own personal tastes.

If you like quite a strong Cajun taste then follow the quantities in this recipe, but if you want a more mild effect then simply adjust accordingly. No matter how much seasoning you do use in the end though, this recipe will be really delicious.

When it comes to stirring in the egg at the end of this recipe, you really do have to make sure that the heat is turned off on the stove and that there is no new heat being applied to the saucepan. If there is, not only will your egg turn into scrambled egg, but your quark will split and trust me, neither of those things are tasty!

Just be patient, take the saucepan off the heat, stir together your egg and quark (and the cheese if you’re using it), tip it over the top and quickly stir it through until the sauce thickens up. It’s about making sure there is an even distribution of heat to the egg, as opposed to a direct source of heat to any individual bits of mixture. If you do it like that, you will have a sauce, and not scrambled egg!

Ingredients

  • 400g - 500g Penne Pasta
  • 2x Muscle Foods Chicken Breasts (cut into small cubes)
  • 2x Red Peppers (sliced thinly)
  • 1x Onion (sliced thinly)
  • 4tbsp Cajun Seasoning (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1L Chicken Stock
  • 1x Egg
  • 2tbsp Quark/Fromage Frais
  • 35g Grated Cheddar Cheese (optional)
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)
  • Fry Light

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, fry the chicken breast with two tablespoons of Cajun seasoning until cooked through. Remove from the saucepan and set to one side.
  2. With more Fry Light add the peppers and onion and rest of the Cajun seasoning. Cook until soft.
  3. Pour in the pasta and then add chicken stock until the pasta is just covered.
  4. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring regularly. As the stock reduces continue adding more, little by little, until the pasta is cooked and the chicken stock has thickened to a shiny sauce coating the pasta. Mix in the chicken.
  5. Remove the pasta from the heat.
  6. Mix together the egg, quark and cheese if you're using it. Pour into the pasta and quickly begin to mix this into the pasta making sure to coat it all. Continue to mix until the sauce thickens, this is how you know the egg has cooked.
  7. Portion out the pasta and top with a small spoon of quark and a sprinkling of Cajun seasoning.
  8. Enjoy straight away!

Notes

      22/08/2016 at 6:04 pm

      I use Knorr but any kind of chicken stock would work!

    Do you think this recipe might work with quorn chicken pieces and vegetable stock? Thanks
    1. Cliona

      16/09/2016 at 8:12 am

      Yes absolutely! You might just have to adjust cooking to cook the quorn as per the packet instructions ?

        Great, thanks! Will try to remember to let you know how it goes :-) xx

    Could you warm this up the day after or would the egg in it turn scrambled??

      I haven't but I know people who have done and it's worked!

    Hi is it essential to use the egg. I am always worries about eggs not being cooked properly lol
    1. Cliona

      13/10/2016 at 12:50 pm

      It's not essential, but it makes it into a sauce :) it will be cooked promise! You can always just use cheese instead but it won't be quite the same :)
    2. Heather

      24/11/2019 at 6:00 pm

      I make it without the egg and you still get a nice sauce and it tastes lovely
  • Danni

    09/10/2016 at 9:17 am

    Would this work in a slow cooker just add the quark and egg just before serving ?
    1. Cliona

      09/10/2016 at 1:18 pm

      I haven't tried it myself but I imagine it would work! Give it a go and let me know ?

      Yes you can! They work just the same so you'll have the same results too :)

    1. Cliona

      30/11/2016 at 8:45 pm

      Thanks Christina! As I say in the post I like it quite spicy so definitely worth cutting down the spices! Really glad you like it ?

    I'm looking at making this recipe tonight! I have bought all the ingredients but have fresh pasta! Will this make a difference? Do I just follow the recipe as normal? Can't wait to try it!
    1. Cliona

      07/12/2016 at 1:11 pm

      Hi Carla, thanks for your comment! For fresh pasta just cook as per the packet instructions (a few minutes usually) and then add as normal as per the recipe above. I'm sure you're aware but if you're following Slimming World you need to syn fresh pasta (although I don't if I make it myself!) ? hope that helps!

    20/12/2016 at 6:39 pm

    Wow is all I can say. Just tried this for dinner and It's absolutely amazing. Very spicy I might have overdone it a bit on the cajun but delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe x

  • Jodie

    06/01/2017 at 9:18 am

    HI Cliona, Thank you for this recipe I cant wait to try it :) One question because it makes 4 portions and your only using 356 of cheese from HEA would this mean that the cheese allowance is divided by 4? So would only be 8.75grams of cheese per portion? Therefore you could use the rest of your cheese allowance on something else? I hope this makes sense :)
    1. Cliona

      06/01/2017 at 9:31 am

      Yes that's correct Jodie! You can also up the amount of cheese you add no problem! ?
  • Haylee

    11/01/2017 at 4:36 pm

    Just checking is it 900g or 500g of pasta? Making for tea tonight x
    1. Cliona

      11/01/2017 at 7:04 pm

      It's 400g to 500g depending on how many you're cooking for ?
  • Lianne

    12/01/2017 at 8:15 am

    Hello tastes delicious! Can it be frozen after x
    1. Cliona

      17/01/2017 at 4:32 pm

      Hi Lianne, I haven't tried freezing it but I don't see why not! Just let it defrost totally before use and heat it with a bit of water stirred through over a relatively low heat and it should be fine! Really glad you liked it :) x
  • sharon

    12/01/2017 at 3:47 pm

    Do u add the pasta uncooked, or cook it first before adding the stock?
    1. Cliona

      12/01/2017 at 3:54 pm

      You add it uncooked and then it is cooked in the stock ?
  • Emma Franklin

    23/01/2017 at 9:08 pm

    Wow just made this and it was yummy!! Hubby loved it too and couldn't believe it was low fat. I only used 3tbs of cajun but did add half a red chilli and it had a perfect zing! Used 500g of pasta and had to add a little more water but came out much better than expected.

    OMG my cooking leaves a lot to be desired these days because I have other things I'd rather do!!! This was amazing, my husband actually said EXCELLENT. I used mushrooms (our favorites) because no red peppers left but I think that added to it. I used Piri Piri seasoning because it was all I had and Quark and Parmesan made the sauce AMAZING!!!! I usually stick to tomato based sauces for SW recipes, this has jumped to top of the list. Thank you so much Pamela xx

    Absolutely delicious. I have just made this for my lunch this week. I substituted the graded cheese for mozzarella, used Arla quark (with garlic and herbs) and also added sweetcorn, peas and mushrooms. Can't wait to eat it. My tater was absolutely amazing. Thankyou.

    1. Cliona

      16/02/2017 at 7:48 pm

      Hi Cat, just follow the instructions on the stock packet as different brands suggest different amounts. I like to use two stock cubes but it's personal taste. Thanks!

      I don't think so however I haven't used it in this recipe so I wouldn't want to say for sure ?

        22/02/2017 at 2:48 pm

        Lorraine: I used creme fraiche the first time I made it because I picked up the wrong tub in Tesco - d'oh! It was lovely, I just had to syn it instead of having a free meal. I'm making it again tonight, and yes, I have fromage frais this time! I won't be using the grated cheese, it was fine without it last time.

      07/06/2017 at 2:14 pm

      Hi Ashley, sorry for not replying sooner! In terms of reheating you can add a little bit of water and microwave, or add it back into the pan on a low heat with some water and make sure you heat it all through. Hope that helps!

    This is a firm favourite in our house, my fussy hubby wasn't to keen when he saw the egg/quark/cheese mixture but it went down a storm, my daughters boyfriend has asked for it when he comes over tonight so its a firm favourite in our house!

    This is by far my favourite sw meal, I’ve made it a few times now ? just a little question, re EE would you say the peppers/onions are enough to class as the 3rd of speed ?

      Hi Louise, I'm glad you like it! I would suggest having some salad on the side or some extra veg :)

    Hi, Has anyone tried this no egg yet? I’ve made it once and it was lovely. Wanting to alter the spice etc so my boys can eat it bit my eldest is also highly allergic to eggs (anaphylaxis) so don’t know how it would be without? Thought maybe doubling amount of grated cheese to help thicken the sauce a bit more? Thanks in advance x

      12/03/2018 at 6:39 pm

      Hi Kirsten, the sauce as it is wouldn't work without egg, as that's what makes it creamy. I'd suggest instead that you substitute the sauce for a cream cheese or similar kind of product so that you still get that creamy element. Hope that helps!

    This really confused me on the part where you add the stock little by little... I don't understand how you can cover the pasta and then still add remaining stock as I ran out...

    I have a carton of ready made chicken stock from m&s. Can I use that it does it need to be cubes? Can’t wait to try this!

    Hi, How much chicken in grams should I use? You mention maxi muscle chicken is larger than most. Many thanks

    Made this for the second time exactly to the recipe and it is indeed so yummy, I have to say though it is eight portions and perfect to freeze and take back out, one of my favorites thanks for putting this up Cliona....

    Hi Guys, I am planning on making this dish just for myself. Can someone advise the ingredient measures for 1 person please? Thanks

    Hi Guys, Just made this tonight for tea halved the recipe just in case it was not a hit. It would have made 3 portions but my husband wanted seconds and he scrapped the pan clean. This does not happen often. So easy to make and so yummy and from items that are a staple in my home. This is going to be saved in my favourites and best ever it was syn free. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.
