Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs Chicken Breasts
- 1 bundle Asparagus
- 1 box Linguine
- 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning Mix (I used Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 16 oz. Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tablespoons Sun Dried Tomatoes (I used Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Julienne Cut Tomatoes with Italian Herbs)
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Garnish:
- Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
- Cut up the chicken as desired – cubed or thin slices
- Add oil to the pan and cook the chicken
- While the chicken is cooking boil the water for the pasta
- Rinse and cut up the asparagus – make them as big or as little as you’d like
- Add the uncooked pasta to the boiling water – cook as directed on the box
- Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked add in the remaining ingredients – the Cajun seasoning, the whipping cream, the sun dried tomatoes, the dried basil, the crushed red pepper, the salt, the garlic powder, the black pepper, and the asparagus – reduce heat to low and cook until the pasta is done
- Drain the pasta, return to the pot, add in the chicken and asparagus sauce, and mix until all of the pasta is coated
- Top with Parmesan Cheese and Enjoy!
