Cajun Chicken Pasta

Cajun is an amalgamation of French and Southern cuisine. This countryside cuisine is just excellent! The silkiness of creamy pasta, crunchiness of veggies, and chunks of chicken feel divine in my mouth. A well-cooked and garnished creamy cajun chicken pasta is irresistible.

To make Cajun chicken pasta, cook the linguine pasta. Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning and sauté it in butter in a skillet. Then, add green and red bell peppers, green onions, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Add heavy cream to it and season with salt and spices. Mix the cooked linguini with this sauce. Garnish it with parmesan cheese.

If you are out of green bell peppers, I have an easy way out. Here is a list of green pepper substitutes for you.
