Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 6 teaspoons cajun seasoning divided
• 6 tablespoons butter divided
• 1 pound linguine
• 3 bell peppers various colors, sliced
• 1 red onion sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms sliced
• 2 cups heavy cream

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Rub each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 3 tablespoons of butter. Sear the chicken breasts in the butter until browned on each side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F which will take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove the chicken and set aside to rest.
• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• In the same skillet as you cooked the chicken, without cleaning, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add in bell peppers, onion, and mushroom. Sauté until veggies are tender. Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons of cajun seasoning over veggies and cook 1 minute.
• Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce thickens.
• Stir in cooked pasta and toss until coated and veggies are evenly distributed. Slice chicken breasts and serve over hot pasta.
