Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

Chicken in cajun spices sauteed with bell peppers and mushrooms and presented in a basil-cream sauce over linguine

"I decided to make several changes to this. First I left out the mushrooms, I added andouille sausage and used one one chicken breast. I used real garlic. I left out the lemon pepper, not needed. I sauteed the chicken and sausage, with the spices. I set aside the chicken/sausage and then sauteed the peppers and onions. Added back the chicken/sausage and a half cup of chicken stock to deglaze the pan, then added the cream to make sauce. " - FLA-cook

Picture shows penne pasta, says 'linguini'. Amount of chicken to use is nebulous. My attempt turned out Very salty (Cajun spice is typically 12% RDA sodium). I will try again with penne, more chicken and less Cajun spice.

This was amazing. My boyfriend and I loved it. We made a few changes like dicing up the chicken and adding some shredded mozzarella cheese. We will make this again. Yummy

We loved. Especially husband who loves his food spicy. Used Tony Chachere's...sprinkled into sauce too for extra spice.

Excellent! It's a very versatile recipe and I also added andouille sausage and a bit more Cajun seasonings to my liking. Easy to make and easy cleanup but most of all delicious.

Be Advised- Do not add more Cajun seasoning as I did (ignorantly thinking the chicken need to be completely covered). It came out WAY TOO SALTY!

I'm giving it 4 stars only because I interpreted the recipe to my suiting. I used olive oil to saute with (no mention of butter in the required list of items). I used much more cajun spice than mentioned and cut the chicken into small pieces. None of that was mentioned in the recipe. It was a very good recipe after making those few changes.

First time using this app I searched 'pasta and chicken.' I made this, it came out perfectly, my girlfriend loved it, and I could not have been more happy. Next time I think I might add broccoli and some other veggies.
