this is about the best thing i've made in a long time. i'm probably biased, though, because i really love cajun chicken pasta. i found a great recipe for the dish at SkinnyTaste. if you want a beautifully done picture by picture process, you should check out the site. i'm also sharing the recipe below.
ingredients
8 ounces uncooked linguine
1 pound chicken breast strips
1-2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or to taste)--I used Zatarain's Blackening Seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium tomato, diced
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup milk
1 tbsp flour
3 tbsp cream cheese
fresh cracked pepper
- Prep vegetables and chicken.
- In a small blender make a slurry by combining milk, flour and cream cheese. Set aside.
- Season chicken generously with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and salt.
- Prepare pasta in salted water according to package directions.
- Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tbsp olive oil and the chicken. Sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until done. Set aside.
- Add olive oil to the skillet and reduce to medium; add bell peppers, onions, and garlic to skillet, sauté 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and sauté 3-4 more minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with 1/4 tsp salt, garlic powder and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; add chicken broth and pour in slurry stirring about 2 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet; adjust salt and Cajun seasoning to taste, cook another minute or two until hot
- Add linguine; toss well to coat.
