Ingredients:
1 pound(s) linguine
1 pound(s) chicken breasts cubed
1 tablespoon(s) cajun seasoning
2 tablespoon(s) butter
3 bell peppers sliced red, green or both
2 green onions diced
6 cup(s) heavy cream

1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
8 tablespoon(s) parmesan cheese grated
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add linguini, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat.
3. 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.
4. In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
5. *I've used about half a bag of sliced frozen peppers and it came out fine.
