Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

4 ounces linguine or other pasta

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

4 fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 green onion, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon dried basil

¼ teaspoon lemon pepper, or to taste

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into strips; place in a plastic zipper bag and add Cajun seasoning. Shake to coat.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until browned and almost cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add bell peppers, mushrooms, and green onion. Cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat and stir in cream, basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Heat through. Add cooked pasta, toss, and heat through.

Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
