Tomato Basil Cajun Chicken Pasta

"Just something I threw together with what I had in the house. After taking a quick look at the recipes I usually make, I decided to try something new. Husband approved and so did the teenager, so I figure it must be a keeper! This makes a colorful and quick meal."

directions

  • Cook your penne pasta, strain, and set aside.
  • cut raw chicken breasts into bite sized strips.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter on low heat and add minced onions and garlic, stir until well saturated.
  • Add chicken strips to the skillet, along with your cajun seasoning, mix until even. Cover and allow to simmer on medium/low heat.
  • when chicken is about halfway cooked, add the basil. I like to cut mine up into strips with cooking sheers, as some of those leaves can be big! Stir, cover, and simmer on medium/low until chicken is nearly done.
  • Slowly add the cream, stirring in well. if you like a little extra sauce for your pasta, add a little extra cream.
  • Add your freshly diced tomato to the mix and stir. Cover and allow chicken to finish cooking.
  • Serve hot over pasta, top with parmesan.
