3. Add the sliced chicken pieces, season with half of the Cajun seasoning and black pepper, and cook for about four to six minutes until done.
4. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
5. Melt butter in the same pan over medium heat.
6. Add onions, garlic, and red bell peppers. Sauté for a couple of minutes.
7. Pour in the tomato sauce, heavy whipping cream, some pasta water, and the remaining Cajun seasoning into the pan.
8. Mix and simmer for about three minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
9. Return the cooked chicken from the bowl back into the pan with the sauce.

12. Turn off the heat and let the dish sit for a couple of minutes to allow it to thicken before serving.
