Any contributions would I'm sure be very welcome! No matter what they might be.
Here is Part two of my previously mentioned meal plan, as promised.
What you need!
2 Boneless skinless Chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
2 Teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
2 Tablespoons of Butter ( you can use margarine but butter is preferable for flavor)
1 Green Onion Sliced
1-2 cups Heavy Cream
1/4 teaspoon Dried Basil
1/4 teaspoon Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces Linguine, cooked and drained
(Optional finish, Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese)
How to Do it!
Step 1: Place Chicken and Cajun Seasoning in a bowl or plastic re-sealable bag, and toss/shake to coat.
Step 2: Using a large skillet using medium heat, sauté chicken in butter for about 5-7 minutes, until almost tender.
Step 3: Add the sliced onion, cook for additional 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
Step 4: Reduce heat (To low), adding the cream and seasonings one at a time, gently stirring them each until the mixture is heated completely through.
Step 5: Add cooked Linguine, toss until heated completely through. and Serve!
Additional notes for this recipe:
Quick and Easy substitutes, Chicken can be easily swapped out for Seafood of choice, a popular choice is Shrimp, crab, and scallops (Together or separate). Sliced Steak is also a very good fit for this recipe as well, but do not hesitate to drop meat from it at all if you wish.
Pasta! Any sort of pasta you wish can really be used for this, be it Traditional Angel hair, or even bow tie pasta. On a personal note I would not recommend small macaroni noodles as they have a tendency to be a bit too dense for the recipe as a whole but again that is personal taste.
Cajun Seasoning.
As I know there are many out there who can not do 'spice' very well, or have a general dislike of Cajun Seasoning. This can be replaced with the use of Italian Spice blends, or in the case of seafood Lowerys Seafood Seasoning. Or in a lot of cases Simple salt and pepper to taste.
