How To Make cajun chicken pasta

  • 1
    Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente; drain.
  • 2
    Place chicken breasts (*see note) and creole seasoning in a plastic bag. Shake to coat. In a large skillet, saute the chicken in butter over medium heat until almost tender.
  • 3
    Add both bell peppers and the onion. Saute and stir until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • 4
    Reduce heat and add the cream and seasonings. Heat through. Add the cooked linguine. Toss and heat through. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and serve.
  • 5
    NOTE: I used the breasts whole. In the future, I will cut them into bite-sized pieces so that the seasoning is on every bite, not just the outside. I also will cut the vegetables into bite-sized chunks rather than slice them as they will be easier to eat.
