Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

• 6 oz linguine (or your favorite pasta)

• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, or to taste

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

• 2-3 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes

• ½ tsp sea salt

• ¼ tsp dried basil

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain.

• Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning.

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping once, until golden and cooked through.

• Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

• Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted into a rich, creamy sauce.

• Add the cooked pasta and toss until every strand is coated. If needed, stir in a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

• Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan and finely chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
