Print Recipe

A comforting one-pot meal featuring tender chicken and turkey sausage in a creamy Pepper Jack cheese sauce with pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb turkey sausage, sliced
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 12 oz rotini or penne pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the sliced sausage and diced chicken to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  5. Stir in the 12 oz pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  6. Reduce heat to low, and mix in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.

Notes

Tip: If the sauce seems too thick, stir in a splash more chicken broth. If it is too thin, simmer a few extra minutes on low to reduce and thicken.
