CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

Category: Pasta - Chicken

4 oz linguine pasta, cooked al dente, drained
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp butter
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 green onion, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream or half and half
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 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

While pasta is cooking, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat.

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute 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 linguine with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
