Instructions

Place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl and toss to coat.
In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in butter until chicken is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat. Add green onions, cream, tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and heat through. (The longer you let it simmer, the thicker it will be.)
Pour over hot linguine and toss with Parmesan cheese. Add more Cajun seasoning if desired.
