Cajun Chicken Pasta

Call me a sucker for love. (yall bitches better not lol) That’s just what I am. So when it comes to setting the mood for that special someone, I’m pretty confident in my ability to find creative ways to express my feelings. So for the sake of discussion, let’s just say that I wanted to prepare a special “I Love You” dinner. Back in the day, the majority of my attention would be focused on finding sexy dessert and cocktail ideas aimed at capping the night off in a “meaningful” way. Wrong move. As my methods matured though, I learned that it wasn’t the cherry on top that deserved the greater part of my attention … it was the entrée. It’s with this understanding in mind that I’ve decided to share this recipe for a creamy Cajun chicken pasta. Do this right and I guarantee that by the end of the night … well, I won’t spoil it for you. ; 0 )

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
