Ingredients

2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 cups heavy cream
½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained
2 roma tomatoes diced
½ cup parmesan cheese, fresh shredded

Instructions

Rinse the chicken in water and put them in a Tupperware container or large resealable bag. Add the cajun seasoning and shake to coat thoroughly.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, in a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
When the cream mixture begins to bubble remove it from heat. Add the cooked pasta and stir well to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Once the chicken is cooked, cut it into thin strips.
Spoon the pasta onto a plate and top it with the chicken, diced tomatoes, and parmesan. Sprinkle with more cajun seasoning if desired!
