How to make Cajun Chicken Pasta

With Mardi Gras just a few weeks away, some of you are planning Mardi Gras themed dinners. Instead of dining, many of you will decide to cook a dinner in your place. I found one that can do the job. It's Cajun Chicken Pasta.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1/2 pound linguine pasta
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 green bell pepper, sliced
• 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 green onion, chopped
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Get 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.
2. While the pasta is cooking, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat.
3. Get a large skillet over medium heat, have the chicken sauté in butter until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. After that, 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.
4. In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
5. After you finish cooking, put on a plate, let it cool down a little and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• You can adjust it to a little as 4 ounces of pasta noodles for 2 serving or a 1 pound for bigger meals.
• When cooking the chicken, make sure there is no pink in the chicken to avoid food poisoning
