Sometimes it is hard to find the seasonings recipes call for so here are some pictures to help you out. If you can't find the McCormick one I have found the kick'n chicken works great, it is a lot more spicy!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ounces linguine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 green onion, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine 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 linguine with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Adjustments I Make:
I like to use 2 cups of cream and then just add a little more spices and ingredients to my liking! I also think it is to thin and thicken with a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water.
I have also found you can use more veggies than it says 4 mushrooms to me wasn't enough have fun with it and be creative it is Yummy!
Also I serve it over Wheat Linguine not mixed in with the Pasta.
Yum this sounds wonderful can't wait to try out this recipe, thanks!
