Creamy Pepper Jack Chicken & Sausage Pasta

A rich, spicy, and ultra-comforting pasta dish loaded with tender chicken, savory sausage, and a creamy Pepper Jack cheese sauce that wraps every bite in bold flavor. Perfect for cozy dinners or family meals that leave no leftovers.

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken sausage, sliced
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
12 oz rotini or penne pasta
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1½ cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Brown the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook the sliced chicken sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the chicken: In the same skillet, add diced chicken, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink (about 5–7 minutes).
Boil the pasta: While the chicken cooks, boil pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the sauce: Return sausage to the skillet. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and bring to a light simmer.
Melt in cheese: Stir in Pepper Jack and Parmesan until smooth and creamy.
Combine: Add cooked pasta, toss well to coat, and heat through.
Garnish & serve: Top with chopped parsley and serve hot.
