Spicy Cajun Chicken Penne - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 ounces whole wheat penne
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
4 ounces mushrooms, quartered (I use Baby Bella's)
1 head broccoli, florets halved
1 green onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
parmesan cheese, grated
Italian bread, sliced

Preparation

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 olive oil until chicken is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter and flour (see note in 'description' about a yummy substitution). Add in salt, basil, lemon pepper, garlic powder and black pepper. Set aside.
Add green and red bell peppers, onion, mushrooms and broccoli to the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes.
Reduce heat and slowly add milk mixture to skillet and heat through. Sauce will thicken.
Mix pasta into skillet.
Serve with fresh parmesan cheese and a fresh Italian Bread Loaf.
