Ingredients
Steps
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add linguini pasta to the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, place chicken strips and Cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the seasoned chicken until it is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the chopped green and red bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and minced green onions to the skillet; cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
Season the sauce with dried basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper; heat through until the sauce is warm and slightly thickened.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked linguini with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
Try serving this dish with corn bread. For a bolder flavor, some reviewers suggest adding extra Cajun seasoning. You can also experiment with adding other vegetables to the mix.
