- Slice the chicken into strips and toss with half the Cajun seasoning and the garlic powder, salt, pepper and oil.
- Boil the pasta until al dente, reserving a splash of the water.
- Pan-fry the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes until cooked and golden.
- Thinly slice the red pepper and cook in the same pan for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the cream cheese, remaining Cajun seasoning and a splash of pasta water.
- Add the pasta and spinach, tossing until the spinach wilts and everything is coated.
- Finish with grated parmesan and fresh parsley.
Tip: Save a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much.
