Cajun Chicken Pasta

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 tsp. cajun seasoning {I used Tony Chachere's}

4 tbsp. butter

3 cups heavy whipping cream

1/2 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. garlic powder {garlic salt would be good here, too!}

1 pkg. penne pasta

Roma tomatoes, chopped

Shredded parmesan cheese

Green onions {optional}

Cook pasta according to package directions. Slightly moisten chicken with water and sprinkle Cajun seasoning on the top of both breasts. In a large skillet, sauté chicken in 2 tablespoons of butter, turning when necessary (10-15 min). While chicken is cooking, grab another pot and combine cream with 2 tablespoons of butter and remaining seasonings {salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper}. When the cream mixture starts to bubble, turn off heat and pour over cooked pasta. Toss to coat evenly. When the chicken is all cooked, remove from heat and transfer to cutting board. Slice chicken into strips. Spoon pasta onto plate & top with several strips of chicken. Top with tomatoes, green onions, and sprinkle with parmesan.
