Ingredients
-
1 Pound Bow Tie Pasta
-
2 Chicken Breasts
-
Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning (Approximately 1 Tablespoon, Adjust to Taste)
-
1 Tablespoon Butter
-
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
-
4 Cloves Minced Garlic
-
Half of a Large Yellow Onion, Diced
-
1 Can (28 Ounces) Crushed Tomatoes
-
2 Teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (Adjust to Taste)
-
1/2 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
-
1 Teaspoon Dried Basil
-
2 Bay Leaves

1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
-
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan (More for Garnish)
-
Fresh Basil for Garnish (Optional)

Directions
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to box instructions. Once pasta is done, stir in butter and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your chicken breast freely with the Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning. Cook chicken for approximately 5 minutes per side (or until internal temperature reaches 165°F). Set chicken aside and remove any brown bits left in the pan.
- In the same pan, cook the onions for approximately 3 minutes (you want them to be soft and translucent). Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for another minute. Add tomato paste, and stir to combine.
- Add in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, bay leaves and Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste the sauce and add additional Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning as needed. Carefully remove bay leaves with a fork and discard. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream. Add cooked pasta, sliced chicken and Parmesan. Stir until everything is combined.
- Top with fresh basil, chili flakes and Parmesan. Enjoy!
