Instructions

AVOCADO SAUCE

To make the avocado sauce, all you have to do is blend all the ingredients listed under 'avocado sauce' in a blender or a food processor until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Add an extra tablespoon of milk, if the sauce is too thick. Set it aside.

CHICKEN PREPARATIONS

Assemble: all the spices for chicken. Mix to combine.
Wash and clean chicken breasts. Rub this Cajun spice mix over the chicken until chicken is well covered in the spice mix.
Bake the chicken in a preheated oven (350 degrees F) for 20 minutes or until done. I have cooked chicken in an airfryer - 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook again for 5 minutes.

PASTA PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLING

Meanwhile, let's start with the pasta. Boil Spiral pasta as per package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta.
Transfer it to a bowl.
Sprinkle pasta with salt and pepper.
Toss to combine.
Add corn kernels.
Add sliced Cherry Tomatoes.
Time to add the avocado sauce.
Pour a generous amount of sauce over the pasta. I recommend adding the drained pasta and veggies instantly to the sauce, otherwise, it will not coat well.
Toss to combine.
Time to check on the chicken - perfectly baked chicken breasts.
Transfer tossed pasta to a serving bowl.
Top with grilled Cajun Chicken, cilantro leaves and enjoy!
