Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small
bite-sized chunks
Coconut oil - brush pan
1/2 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Cajun seasoning, divided
1 can diced tomatoes - drain some juice & then mince the tomatoes
1/4 cup cream

Directions:
Cook pasta in boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
In a a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Add the chicken and 1 tsp cajun seasoning blend and cook until the chicken
