How to Make Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Place a pot of water on to boil. Cook the linguine al dente according to the package directions.

Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.

Place chicken in a bowl, sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over and toss to coat.

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter until chicken is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Reduce the heat, add the heavy cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic, and black pepper. Cook long enough to heat through.

Add the pasta and stir to coat with the sauce. The sauce will thicken after a few minutes of tossing the pasta.

Toss with the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with the green onions. Bam, and done! Easy dinner.
