Cajun Chicken Spaghetti

1️⃣ Season & brown the chicken – Season the chicken thighs with Cajun and garlic & herb seasoning. Heat oil in a large pot and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove and set aside.

2️⃣ Sauté the veggies – In the same pot, add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

3️⃣ Add tasso & sauce – Stir in taso (or smoked sausage) and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Add tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes, and tomato sauce, mixing well.

4️⃣ Simmer the sauce – Pour in 2 cups of water and return the browned chicken to the pot. Season with sugar, bouillon, cayenne, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Stir and let it simmer low and slow until the chicken is falling apart and the sauce is thickened (add water as needed).

5️⃣ Cook spaghetti & serve – Boil spaghetti according to package instructions. Serve the shredded Cajun chicken sauce over the hot spaghetti.
