Cajun Chicken Pasta

This is similair to the Cajun Chicken Pasta at Chili's. We got the recipe from Mark's family and we love it.

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp. Butter

1 Tbsp. Flour

1 1/2 cup half and half or cream

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (I use a little more than that.)

12 oz penne pasta

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast

Cajun Seasoning

*Boil pasta until done

*Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add flour until combined. Add half and half or cream. Let this thicken (approx 6-7 min). When this thickens remove from heat, stir in the cheese and cajun seasoning to taste. Cover and set aside.

*Meanwhile cut chicken in to strips or dice. Cook in olive oil until done.

* Combine everything and enjoy. The cajun seasoning can be really salty/spicy so you may want to go light with it. Great served with garlic bread and salad. This only takes about 20 minutes start to finish so it's a great quick meal.
