Cajun Chicken Pasta

So yum!

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tsp. cajun seasoning {I used Tony Chachere's}
4 tbsp. butter
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder {garlic salt would be good here, too!}
1 pkg. penne pasta
Roma tomatoes, chopped
Shredded parmesan cheese
Green onions {optional}

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Slightly moisten chicken with water and place in a large Ziploc baggie.  Add Cajun seasoning, seal baggie, and shake it up.  You want to get the chicken nice and coated with all the Cajun seasoning.

In a large skillet, sauté chicken in 2 tablespoons of butter, turning when necessary.  I probably cooked mine for about 10-15 minutes.

While chicken is cooking, grab another pot and combine cream with 2 tablespoons of butter and remaining seasonings {salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper}.

When the cream mixture starts to bubble, turn off heat and pour over cooked pasta.  Toss to coat evenly.  When the chicken is all cooked, remove from heat and transfer to cutting board.  Slice chicken into strips.

Spoon pasta onto plate & top with several strips of chicken.  Top with tomatoes, green onions, and sprinkle with parmesan.
