Cajun Chicken Pasta

I got this recipe from the blog Plain Chicken. It is very easy to make and doesn't require a lot of expensive ingredients.

Here is what you need to get started: 

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips or chunks

4 oz. of linguine (or whatever pasta you want), cooked al dente

2 teaspoons of cajun seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

1-2 heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes (I left this out because my husband and I do not like tomatoes)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/8 teaspoon dried basil

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Getting all the ingredients together is the hard part. Now it is time to begin! Cook the pasta as directed on the package. Next, you will need to put the chicken and cajun seasoning together in a bowl and mix until the chicken is coated well with the seasoning.

Add the two tablespoons of butter to a skillet set to low heat until butter is melted.

 Turn the burner up to medium or medium high heat and add the chicken. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center, usually about 5 to 7 minutes.

Reduce heat and add heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Heat this until it heated all the way through and is starting to thicken. 

Pour over hot linguine and toss with parmesan cheese.

Serve and ENJOY!!
