Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
8 ounces linguine
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning (store-bought or my Cajun Seasoning Mix)
4 tablespoons butter
2 thinly sliced green onions
2 cups heavy whipping cream or 2 cups half-and-half
4 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese or 2/3 cup store bought pre-grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
-
Place chopped chicken and cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss until evenly coated.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sautee chicken in butter until tender. (Make sure chicken is 'flaky' all the way through).
Reduce heat and add heavy cream, green onion, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, and half of the parmesan cheese. Bring heat back to medium to a slight simmer and heat through until sauce begins to thicken.
Gently mix in cooked pasta and stir in remaining parmesan cheese. Alternatively you can pour the mixture over plated noodles.
Let your body melt in heavenly goodness.
