Zesty Lemon Cajun Chicken Pasta

February 1, 2017 by Michelle Leave a Comment

This is an easy & tasty meal.  With just a hint of lemon, it makes the taste buds sing.  I paired it with Spinach & Cheese Garlic Bread.

What you need:

  • 2 Chicken breast
  • 3 tbs virgin olive oil (separated)
  • 1/2 tsp virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tsp zesty lemon seasoning
  • 1/2 box linguine noodles
  • small onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 cup grape tomatoes cut in half
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 oz chicken broth

What to do:

  1. Place chicken in a zip lock bag. Pour in 2 tbs oil & cajun seasoning. Shake bag around to coat the chicken.
  2. Put 1/2 tsp oil in frying pan & cook chicken for 7-9 minutes over medium heat on each side, until done. Put aside.
  3. Chop the onions, garlic, & tomatoes.
  4. Put 1 tbs of oil in the same frying pan & add chopped onions.  Cook for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic & cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Turn heat down to medium-low.  Add tomatoes & cook until onions are transparent.
  7. Add chicken broth & cook 2o minutes.  The liquid will cook down.
  8. While the broth is cooking down, cook pasta according to directions.
  9. Add chicken to the broth mixture & cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.
  10. Serve broth mixture over pasta & enjoy!

Don’t forget to add a piece of Spinach & Cheese Garlic Bread to your plate!!!!
