Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

This is similar to another recipe I've posted, Easy Chicken Alfredo, but I like this one better and it is very easy and quick to make. It's also like a blackened Cajun chicken recipe I have that I will post soon.


I really like the kick and cream sauce in this version. Serve this with garlic bread and a good green salad.

Prep time: 10 minutes

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1/4 t dried basil
  • 1/8 t ground black pepper
  • 1/8 t garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.

2. Sauté the chicken with butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until chicken is tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Reduce heat and add the remaining ingredients except the cheese and pasta.

4. Heat thoroughly. Server over pasta and top with cheese.
