"Like Chili's Cajan Chicken Pasta"
Source of Recipe
I think I found this on on Secret Recipe World
Recipe Introduction
This recipe calls for four chicken breast halves, but I (as always when possible) used rotissorie chicken and put the cajun seasoning in a big plastic bag and coated it that way, then only sauteed it for a few minutes in the butter and then went on with the recipe (since the chicken was already cooked) and it turned out great. I even had it for lunch the next day and it was still pretty good. It wasn't all that spicy to me but I eat a lot of spicy food so I may not be the best judge of that.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Throw a thick, garlicy slice of Texas toast on that bad boy and enjoy!
