Cajun Chicken Pasta

This was a superb recipe. I cooked it last night for my mom and dad. Mom normally hates chicken but I do believe she was in total ecstacy when she took the first bite. Dad went back for seconds and told me it was a different, exotic dish. And me? Let's just say I plan to make it again... very soon. I've been spreading the word about this recipe. Thank you for sharing!!
