Step 1
Prep the ingredients and start slicing the onions, bell peppers, and sausages, then put them in a mixing bowl, and set aside. Fill a large pot with water, then sprinkle some salt, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the penne pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, then drain off all the water once cooked. While waiting for the pasta to cook, heat up a large pan on a stove over medium-high heat, then add some oil followed by the veggies and sausages, and give them a good toss frying them until nice and soft. Season them with creole seasoning to taste, then give them a good stir, and continue to cook until brown. Once done frying the veggies, transfer them into a clean mixing bowl, then set them aside for later. Now, cut the chicken breasts through in half, then slice them into smaller pieces, and add them to the same pan making sure to add more oil as needed.

Season the chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt to taste, then toss them together to combine, and adjust the flavor as preferred.
