Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb cooked pasta (Linquini works well)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
cajun seasoning (I use homemade "Essence")
garlic powder
fresh ground pepper
4 -6 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup half-and-half (approx.)
1/4 cup grated fontinella cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil & butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Generously season one side of each chicken breast with Cajun Seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Place chicken in skillet then season the other side.
  • While chicken is cooking prepare pasta according to package directions.
  • When chicken is cooked through and browned on both sides, remove to platter, cover and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese to pad drippings, add half-and-half. Amount of cream cheese and half-and-half will vary depending on desired consistency and spiciness. Stir to melt cream cheese - do not boil.
  • Serve sauce over cooked pasta. Top with sliced chicken and shredded cheese.
