Oh my goodness. Words cannot describe how good this recipe is. I absolutely loved it. I added a little more cajun seasoning than it said because I love spiciness and it was perfect. I will definitely make this a meal to share with everyone.

Very easy and quick. Used penne pasta in lieu of linguini. My wife said I was wasting my time, kids would not eat. But, they LOVED it, said they want it again tomorrow. Son said 'you really out-did yourself dad'. Next time I think I'll add some capers.

This is the best dish ever! I added a few (about 10 slices) of jalepeno peppers to the chicken/butter/cajun seasoning mixture to give it a little kick, I ate the whole batch myself over a weekend, can't wait to make it for sharing :)

Excellent! I love the cajun-seasoned chicken with creamy pasta. The combination is wonderful, although I thought the sauce would need more kick. I would definitely make this recipe when I have to entertain guests. Thanks for the recipe.

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!!
