We did not have thread for rotisserie chicken, though there are several recipes in various threads. This one is modified from an pepper oriented cooking site, so I toned down the heat. Actual Cajuns will consider this mild.
Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe
Separate meat from bone. Set meat aside.
Put skin and bones in a sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to full boil, then reduce to simmer. Strain to use.
Heat some oil in a large pan.
Add onion, peppers and celery. Cook about 7-8 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add chicken meat and garlic. Stir and cook about a minute.
Add tomato paste, stock, Cajun seasoning. Stir to incorporate and add S&P to taste.
Reduce heat to low and simmer about 15 minutes, adding additional stock if needed.
Swirl in cream cheese and sour cream. Stir to incorporate.
Add cooked noodles and stir.
This dish can be done in about 20 minutes
To reduce fat, use plain yogurt instead of sour cream
Several Cajun Seasonings are available commercially. This is Emeril's published mix.
