By Janes_kitchen

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound linguine pasta
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
• 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 green onion, minced
• 3 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

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.
In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
