Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz uncooked linguine
2 lb chicken breast strips
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 1/4 tsp salt, divided
1/4 cup butter
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 (8-oz.) package fresh mushrooms
2 green onions (white and light green parts only), sliced
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
garnish: chopped green onions

Directions:

Prepare pasta according to package directions.
Sprinkle chicken evenly with Cajun seasoning and 1 tsp. salt. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken, and sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until done. Remove chicken.
Add bell peppers, mushrooms, and green onions to skillet, and sauté 9 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid evaporates.
Return chicken to skillet; stir in half-and-half, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, over medium-low heat 3 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Add linguine; toss to coat. Garnish, if desired, and serve immediately.
*1/2 (16-oz.) bag frozen sliced green, red, and yellow bell peppers and onion may be substituted. For testing purposes only, we used Birds Eye Pepper Stir-Fry.
