Combine the cajun seasoning ingredients in a medium bowl.

Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch cubes and add to the medium bowl with the cajun seasoning. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat, until hot and rippling. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side to brown the sides. The chicken doesn’t need to be cooked all the way through yet.

Add the yellow onion and smoked sausage to the pan with the chicken and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the penne pasta, fire roasted tomatoes with the juice, and the broth. Stir until everything is combined then close the lid of the pan and allow it to come to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. When it’s done the mixture should be thick and saucy and the pasta should be tender.

Add the cream to the pan and mix until melted and combined. Serve with fresh parsley.
