Cajun Chicken Pasta

Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat until melted.

Meanwhile, combine 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a zippered bag. Add chopped chicken, zip closed, and shake until chicken is coated.

Transfer chicken to heated pan and cook until chicken is browned and just cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to pan and allow it to melt.

Add peppers and onion and cook until beginning to soften (about 3-5 minutes).

Add heavy cream, smoked paprika, basil, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, cooking until sauce is thickened.

Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Return cooked chicken and add cooked pasta, stir well and serve.
