Erin: Have you ever eaten Cajun Chicken Pasta at Chilis?? It's amazing and I found a copy cat recipe online! I thought a dish like this would take a long time but actually, it only takes 10-15 to make! Yay! That's my kind of meal :) It was easy and super delicious. Sam could not stop raving about it. You have to make this, it's delicious!
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tsp. cajun seasoning (We used Tony Chachere's)
4 tbsp. butter, divided
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 pkg. penne pasta
Roma tomatoes, chopped (optional, I decided to opt out of tomatoes because I really don't like them)
Shredded parmesan cheese, to top
What to do:
1. Cook pasta according to directions
2. Wash chicken breasts, but do not pat dry. Put the chicken in a plastic tupperware or ziploc back along with the cajun seasoning and shake to coat.
3. Heat 2 tbs, butter in a medium saucepan, add chicken and saute 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through
4. While the chicken is cooking, combine cream, 2 tbs butter, salt, pepper, lemon pepper and garlic powder in another saucepan.
5. When the cream mixture begins to bubble, turn off and pour over pasta
6. Top pasta with several strips of chicken and parmesan cheese
