How to Make Cajun Chicken And Linguine
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and Cajun seasoning. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Cook, covered, for 8-10 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add sliced mushrooms and salt. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the drained linguine to the pot. Add the reserved pasta water and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in the onion and pepper mixture. Heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the diced tomato and chopped basil.
- Add the cooked chicken and its juices to the pasta. Toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
