  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
  • 4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, fresh shredded, to taste

Directions:

  1. Slightly moisten chicken with water.
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag, shake chicken and cajun seasoning until chicken is thoroughly coated.
  3. In large skillet, saute chicken in 2 tablespoons butter, over medium heat, turning whenever necessary.
  4. When chicken is about half-way done, grab a second skillet and combine heavy cream, 2 tablespoons butter, and remainder of seasonings over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  6. When chicken is cooked through, place on cutting board and slice into strips.
