Cajun Chicken Pasta

This is so rich and delicious. Perfect to serve to company.

List of Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves -- cut in strips
2 t. cajun seasoning
2 T. butter
8 slices each green and sweet red pepper
4 lg. mushrooms -- sliced (4 oz.)
1 green onion -- sliced
1 c. heavy cream
1/4 t. basil
1/4 t. lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. garlic powder
1/8 t. pepper
4 oz. linguine -- cooked and drained
grated parmesan cheese


Recipe

Place chicken and cajun seasoning in a bowl or resealable plastic bag; toss or shake to coat.

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in butter until almost done, about 5-7 minutes.

Add peppers, mushrooms, and onion; cook and stir for about 3 minutes.

Reduce heat. Add cream and seasonings; heat through.

Add linguine and toss; heat through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serves: 2-3


Serving Ideas : Serve with soft bread sticks or crusty bread to dip into the sauce. A green salad would also be nice.

NOTES : This recipe doubles easily. When I made it, I forgot to add the green onion. It was still delicious.

The original recipe called for 1 to 2 cups of cream, but I thought 1 cup was plenty.
