Ingredients

1.5-2 # chicken breasts
2 tbsp cooking oil such as avocado oil
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
¼ tsp cayenne
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
1 can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup chicken stock or chicken broth
1 14.5 oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
juice of ½ lemon
1 box Jovial Grain-free Penne Pasta
chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small dish, combine paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne , sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch thick strips. Add the cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Toss the chicken in the cajun chicken seasoning and coat well. Sear the chicken in the oil until brown. Flip and brown on the other side. Do not worry about cooking the chicken all the way through. It will finish cooking in the oven.
Add the diced yellow onion to the chicken and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the canned coconut milk, diced tomatoes, chicken stock and stir around. Once the coconut cream has melted, add the Jovial Grain-free Penne Pasta and stir around making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet and place it in the oven. Set a timer for 20 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and enjoy!
