I made this last night and it was excellent! It really tasted like something you would get at a restaurant. This would be great for company as long as they like a little kick!
A few changes – I seasoned the chicken breasts and grilled them, used fresh garlic and no garlic powder and added sweet onion, and 1 t. Creole seasoning to it. I used jarred mushrooms (for DH).
Cajun Chicken Pasta
2 each chicken breasts halves, skinless, boneless, chopped in thin strips
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
8 slices green bell pepper
8 slices red bell peppers
4 large mushrooms fresh, sliced
1 each green onion sliced
1 cup heavy cream (1 to 2)
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces pasta, linguini cooked, drained
1 x parmesan cheese grated (optional)
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 tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add peppers, mushrooms and onions ; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat. Add cream and seasonings ; heat through. Add linguine and toss; heat through. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.
