Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 ounces linguine pasta
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.13 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta.
3. Slice the chicken breast into strips. Place the chicken in a plastic bag, add Cajun seasoning, and shake to coat evenly.
4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and nearly cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the bell peppers, mushrooms, and green onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cream, basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Heat the sauce through, being careful not to boil. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, toss to coat, and heat through.
7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
8. Enjoy your delicious Cajun chicken pasta!
