1/4 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 tsp. dried thyme

Directions: |
Directions:If using peppers and onions, saute these first in a little oil until softened. If using mushrooms, saute them in a little hot oil too. Remove them from the skillet. Toss the chicken pieces with the Cajun seasoning. Saute the chicken in a little more hot oil until cooked through. Add the garlic when the chicken is almost done. Add the seasonings and the milk/cream and heat through. You can thicken the sauce with some cornstarch mixed with a little more evaporated milk if it seems to need it (if you use heavy cream, it won't need it). Toss in the hot, cooked pasta and the vegetables. Top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. |

Notes: Some of our family members don't like the vegetables, so I serve them as a topping instead of tossing them in. I usually use the evaporated milk because with all the seasonings in there, you won't miss the richness of the cream.
