Cajun Chicken Pasta

Note: This is our new favorite meal. Its delish!
It's a very inexpensive and easy meal!

{ Ingredients: }

  • 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 4 tsp cajun seasoning (I usually just fill the bottom of a ziplock bag with cajun, I don't measure)

  • 4 tsp butter

  • 3 cups heavy cream

  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 8 oz cooked penne pasta (drainded)

  • shredded parmesan cheese  
{ Directions: }
Cook penne pasta according to package, drain.
Slightly moisten chicken with water. Place in plastic bag with cajun seasoning. Shake chicken until coated.
In large skillet, sautee chicken in 2 tsp of butter.

While chicken is cooking- combine heavy cream, 2 tsp of butter, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Cook on medium until it bubbles.

Then pour over drained pasta and mix together. (I let it sit for 10 min for sauce to thicken)
When chicken is done, take off stove and cut into strips.
Top pasta with chicken and parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!

Note: I double the recipe for left overs.
