Step 1
DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large Ziploc bag, add chicken and Cajun seasoning; toss until coated.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until almost cooked through. Add red bell pepper, mushrooms, and green onions. Sauté for about 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, toss 1/2 Romano cheese with flour until well blended. Reduce heat in skillet and add half and half, basil, garlic powder, and flour/Romano cheese mixture. Heat to a very low simmer and allow sauce to thicken, stirring occasionally.
In a large pasta bowl, add cooked pasta and chicken mixture. Toss together well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with remaining Romano cheese.
