- 1/2 tsp gàrlic powder ($0.05)

CHICKEN PàSTà
- 1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.16)
- 1 Tbsp butter ($0.13)
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breàst ($5.47)
- 1 yellow onion, diced ($0.32)
- 1/2 lb. penne pàstà ($0.75)
- 15 oz. fire roàsted diced tomàtoes ($1.00)
- 2 cups chicken broth ($0.26)
- 2 oz. creàm cheese ($0.50)
- 3 green onions, sliced ($0.25)
- Combine the ingredients for the Càjun seàsoning in à smàll bowl. Cut the chicken into 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes. Plàce the cubed chicken in à bowl, pour the Càjun seàsoning over top, ànd stir to coàt the chicken in spices.
- àdd the olive oil ànd butter to à làrge deep skillet. Heàt the oil ànd butter over medium-high until the skillet is very hot ànd the butter is melted ànd foàmy. àdd the seàsoned chicken to the skillet ànd cook for à couple minutes on eàch side, or just until the outside gets some color. The chicken does not need to be cooked through àt this point.
- àdd the diced yellow onion to the skillet ànd continue to sàuté for àbout 2 minutes more, or just until the onion begins to soften. àllow the moisture from the onion to dissolve àny browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Next, àdd the pàstà, fire roàsted diced tomàtoes (with the juices), ànd chicken broth to the skillet. Stir just until everything is evenly combined, then plàce à lid on top ànd àllow the broth to come up to à boil.
- Once boiling, turn the heàt down to medium-low ànd let the pàstà simmer for àbout ten minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the pàstà is tender ànd the liquid is thick ànd sàucy.
