Print Recipe

A comforting blend of flavors, featuring tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a creamy sauce that can be made in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces linguine 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
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.25 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and fun.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta.
  3. While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into strips. Place them in a plastic zipper bag and sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning. Shake it up until the chicken is well-coated.
  4. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is browned and nearly cooked through.
  5. Add in the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and green onion, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, dried basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Let everything heat through for a minute or two.
  7. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, combining until everything is well coated and heated through.
  8. Finish off by sprinkling the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and toss gently to mix. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors!

Notes

Serve with a green salad and crusty garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
