Pasta & Cajun Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 oz. linguine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 tsp. Cajun seasoning
- 2 Tbs. butter
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 green onion, minced
- 1 1/2 C. heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp. dried basil
- 1/4 tsp. lemon pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguini pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add green and red bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and green onions; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and stir in heavy cream. Season the sauce with basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper, and heat through. In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
