Recipe ~ Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta


This was delicious!  Good for you, not so much, but very yummy.  I found it on food.com (hasn't failed me yet) and decided to try it out.  Abraham raved about it, and it made yummy leftovers too!

Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta


2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
4 ounces linguine, cooked al dente (really any pasta would work)
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (I used 2 tablespoons because we like spicy)
2 tablespoons butter
1 thinly sliced green onion (I omitted)
1 -2 cup heavy whipping cream (I used 1)
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes (I didn't have any, so I used a can of diced tomatoes)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1.  Place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.

2.  In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter or margarine until chicken is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.

3.  Reduce heat add green onion, heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and heat through.

4.  Pour over hot linguine and toss with Parmesan cheese.
