Cajun Chicken Pasta

2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts (I usually do less because I'm cheap :)
2 tsp cajun seasoning (you can buy this in the store or make your own, I'll put the recipe for it below this)
2 TBSP butter
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
8-10 oz. linguine, cooked and drained (I usually use other noodles since Jeff doesn't like long noodles so just use whatever you have)

Grated parmesan to taste (I don't always have this and it's still good without it)

Cut the chicken into strips or bite size pieces. Place chicken and Cajun seasoning into a bowl or Ziploc bag; toss or shake to coat. In a large skillet over medium heat sauté chicken in butter until almost tender, about 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat and add cream and seasonings, heat through. Add cooked pasta, toss to heat through. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. If you like is spicier you can add Cajun seasoning.

Notes: The first time I cooked this it seemed to take forever but now it's such a simple meal. I usually do the chicken in the morning and just leave it in the refrigerator until I'm ready to cook it. I also get all of the other seasonings measured and in a bowl so I can just dump them in. It's now an incredibly fast meal for me to make when I do it that way.

Cajun Seasoning
1 1/2 TBSP paprika
1 TBSP salt
1 TBSP garlic powder
1/2 TBSP black pepper
1/2 TBSP onion powder
1/2 TBSP cayenne pepper
1/2 TBSP oregano
1/2 TBSP thyme
Mix together.
This makes a lot of seasoning so I just make it and store it in a container. It makes enough to make the cajun chicken pasta many times.
