Cajun Chicken Pasta

Cajun Chicken Pasta - This recipe is good for valentine's day sop that try the Cajun Chicken Pasta recipe. This is an exceedingly yummy, decadent pasta dish with chicken, vegetables, and lots and lots of scrumptious carbs. It’s a cinch to throw together, and if you don’t have prepared Cajun spice in your cabinet, you can just throw a few spices together to make your own combination. Different Cajun spice mixtures use different combinations of ingredients, but if you stick to basics like cayenne pepper (important!), paprika, white pepper (plenty, to help the spice factor), and garlic or onion powder, you’re doing just fine. And you can add Cajun extras to this dish—things like Andouille sausage, crawfish, or shrimp.










          Ingredients:

                   4 ounces linguine pasta
                   2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
                   2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
                   2 tablespoons 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
                   1/4 teaspoon dried basil
                   1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
                   1/4 teaspoon salt
                   1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
                   1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
                   2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguini pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, 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 linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
