Cajun Chicken Alfredo


This is a favorite, it's a slightly spicy pasta dish that is very simple and quick.

4 ounces pasta - any favorite, bow tie, penne, linguini, etc...
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
1 thinly sliced green onion
1 to 2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped sun dried tomatoes.
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
grated parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish, chopped or torn

Cook pasta as directed and drain.

Meanwhile, place chicken and cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter or margarine until chicken is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Reduce heat and green onion, heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and heat through.

Pour over linguini and toss.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
