Ingredients

6 ounces uncooked linguine
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 to 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
4 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
1/2 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
1 green onion, chopped
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
3/4 cup 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, place the chicken and Cajun seasoning in a large resealable plastic bag; shake to coat. In a large skillet, saute chicken in butter for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, peppers and onion; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and vegetables are tender.
Stir in the soup, milk and seasonings. Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until heated through. Drain linguine; toss with chicken mixture. Garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired. Yield: 3 servings.
