Cajun Chicken Pasta

Let’s spice things up a bit around here with Dawn’s cajun chicken pasta…

Ingredients

  • 4 oz. linguine
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken
  • 2 tsp. Cajun seasoning – this will not be real spicy, add more to kick it up a little
  • 2 T. butter
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 C. heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Place chicken and cajun seasoning in plastic bag.  Shake to coat.  In large skillet, over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter until almost tender (5-7 mins).  Add veggies, sauté for 2-3 mins.  Reduce heat.  Add cream, basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder and pepper.  Heat through.
Toss with cooked pasta, heat through.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
Variation – could also add mushrooms, but we don’t like those.
