Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb linguine
1 lb chicken breasts cubed
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
2 tbsp butter
3 bell peppers sliced red, green or both
2 green onions diced
6 cup heavy cream
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
8 tbsp parmesan cheese grated

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add linguini, 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 bell peppers*, and green onions; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and stir in heavy cream. Season the sauce with basil, salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper, and heat through stirring often.
In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
*I've used about half a bag of sliced frozen peppers and it came out fine.
