Cajun chicken pasta
What you need...
12 ounces uncooked linguine
2 pounds chicken breast strips or breast
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 cup butter
1 bag of fajita mix. Whatever you prefer
1/2 chopped onion, if not in fajita mix
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
How to make...
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in big saucepan, sprinkle chicken with Cajun spice (while raw) cook on saucepan until done. I usually add more cajun I like it hot :) remove chicken from pan, add fajita mix, stir 7 minutes in pan add chicken back, pour in half and half,basil garlic powder and the rest of the salt...add COOKED linguini noodles, stir together. I added 1 to 2 tablespoons of corn starch as I like my pasta sauce thicker....also added a pinch more of Cajun :). Dish up and enjoy! If you're not a fan of spicey, you could coat the chicken in garlic instead!!!
