Cajun Chicken Pasta

I admit I have not tried this one, but a friend of mine just sent it to me and it sounds great! I hope to try it soon . . . .

4-6 pieces boneless skinless chicken breast cubed (I usually do 4)
2 tsp butter
8 slices red pepper
8 slices green pepper
1 medium onion chopped
4 large mushrooms sliced
1-2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
2 tsp cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp basil
1/8 tsp garlic powder
4 oz linguini cooked & drained
grated parmesan cheese

*The veggies amounts are really just guidelines...I usually chop 1 whole green, 1 whole red pepper, & 1/2 onion. I buy a container of sliced fresh mushrooms & use the whole thing.  It just depends on what you like!

Mix chicken w/ cajun seasoning & saute over medium heat w/ butter until cooked.  Add peppers, onion, & mushroom & cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.  Reduce heat.  Add cream & seasonings (Add more cajun seasoning if you want it spicier).  Heat thoroughly.  Serve on linguini & top w/ cheese.
