Spicy Cajun Chicken Penne
- 4 ounces whole wheat penne
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 4 ounces mushrooms, quartered (I use Baby Bella's)
- 1 head broccoli, florets halved
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- parmesan cheese, grated
- Italian bread, sliced
- While pasta is cooking, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in olive oil until chicken is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter and flour (see note in 'description' about a yummy substitution). Add in salt, basil, lemon pepper, garlic powder and black pepper. Set aside.
- Add green and red bell peppers, onion, mushrooms and broccoli to the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat and slowly add milk mixture to skillet and heat through. Sauce will thicken.
- Mix pasta into skillet.
- Serve with fresh parmesan cheese and a fresh Italian Bread Loaf.
