Steps:

  • Place chopped chicken and cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sautée chicken in butter until tender. (Make sure chicken is 'flaky' all the way through).
  • Reduce heat and add heavy cream, green onion, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, and half of the parmesan cheese. Bring heat back to medium to a slight simmer and heat through until sauce begins to thicken.
  • Gently mix in cooked pasta and stir in remaining parmesan cheese. Alternatively you can pour the mixture over plated noodles.
  • Let your body melt in heavenly goodness.
