  • Prepare the chicken. If using my seitan chicken, bake in the oven as directed. If using a store-bought chicken, pan cook according to the package directions.

  • Add the Cajun seasoning and toss.
  • Add the broth, tomatoes, and pasta. Bring to boil and cook until pasta is al dente, according to the package directions.
  • Stir in the chicken and cream cheese. Toss well.
