CREAMY CAJUN "CHICKEN" PASTA (VEGETARIAN CHICKEN)

I came up with this recipe in attempt to please my husband who is not keen on fake meats. We all loved this dish and I don't believe he realized that the strips were not real chicken breast. The 6 year old licked his plate - literally. So if you happened to grab a bag and are wondering what on earth to do with it.... give this recipe a try. I know you will love it!

Creamy Cajun

Steps:

  • Add Cajun Seasoning to a medium sized bowl.
  • Spray thawed chik'n pieces with a little bit of Pam and toss in bowl to coat with seasoning.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chik'n pieces in butter until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat and add green onion, heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and heat through until sauce slightly thickens. If the sauce gets too thick you can just add more milk and stir.
  • Pour over hot pasta and toss,with Parmesan cheese.

  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you've got 4 thinner cutlets. Season the chicken with the first 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, the garlic powder, and salt & pepper (go easy on the salt if your Cajun seasoning contains some salt), then coat each piece in flour and shake off any excess.
  • To a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Let the pan warm up for a few minutes.
  • Cook the chicken for 5 minutes/side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
