Cajun Chicken pasta (inspired from Red Lobster)
I got this recipe from the Insider's Recipes Master Edition that was emailed to me years ago.
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 -2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces linguine, cooked and drained (I used whole wheat which changes the flavor somewhat)
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
I also added some fresh basil that I had left over and it was a nice touch. I reduced the amount of dried basil that I used.
Directions:Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl or resealable plastic bag, toss or shake to coat.
In a large skillet over medium heat saute chicken in butter until almost tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat.
Add cream and seasonings; heat through.
Add linguine and toss; heat through.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
