Meanwhile, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat.


In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in butter until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add green and red bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and green onions; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and stir in heavy cream. Season the sauce with basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper, and heat through.


In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.Serves 2,
