Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Serves: 8


Ingredients

• 1 package linguine pasta
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 chicken breasts cut into bite size strips
• 4 tsp Cajun seasoning divided, or more as desired
• 1 large bell pepper, we prefer red
• 1 green onion chopped
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup milk

Directions

1. Cook linguine in a large pot according to the box. Drain. 
2. In a small skillet, add oil, chicken, and 1 tsp Cajun seasoning. When the chicken is 2 minutes from being done, add peppers and green onion. Stir fry for two minutes. Remove from heat. 
3. In a separate medium pot, make a roux by melting butter and whisking in the flour until bubbling and light golden brown, be careful not to burn it. Add cream, milk, and Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil for 1 minute until thick. 
4. Pour the cream sauce and chicken mixture into the pot with the noodles, stir, and serve!

Most types of pasta can be substituted. If you don't have cream, I'm pretty sure you can just use more milk.
