Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet
  • bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces linguine pasta
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves sliced into thin strips
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 piece green bell pepper chopped
  • ½ piece red bell pepper chopped
  • 4 pieces fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 1 piece green onion minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguini pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
  • Meanwhile, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in butter until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add green and red bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and green onions; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and stir in heavy cream. Season the sauce with basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper, and heat through.
