N'Orleans Cajun Chicken and Shrimp Pasta

This is an amazing recipe!

2-4  skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

12 oz.  linguine, cooked al dente

6 tsp.  cajun seasoning

4 tbsp.  butter

1  bunch of green onions, thinly sliced

1 1/2- 2 c.  heavy whipping cream

4 tbsp.  sun-dried tomatoes, julienne cut

1/2 tsp  salt

3/4 tsp.  dried basil

3/8 tsp.  black pepper

3/8  tsp. garlic powder

3/4 c.  parmesan cheese, grated 

Cajun Seasoning Recipe:

2 tsp. white pepper

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 tsp. paprika

2 tsp. black pepper

Place chicken and cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.  In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in butter until chicken is tender and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.  Reduce heat add green onion, heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and heat through.  Pour over hot linguine and toss with parmesan for about 5 minutes on low heat.

*We make ours a little differently, I use olive oil instead of butter and used extra cajun seasoning to the chicken for extra kick.  I love the the taste of sauted scallops so I added it in with the chicken towards the end instead of adding into the sauce, and I did half shrimp and half chicken.   So yummy!!
