Cajun Chicken Pasta

2 chicken boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
2 tsp cajun seasoning
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup green pepper strips
1/2 cup sweet red pepper strips
1/2 c sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 c heavy cream
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp pepper
8 oz pasta, cooked, drained (I like the small bowtie pasta best)
parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Place chicken and cajun seasoning in a bowl or resealable plastic bag; toss or shake to coat.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in butter until almost tender, about 5-7 minutes.  Add peppers, mushrooms and onions; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.  Reduce heat.  Add cream and seasonings; heat through.  Add pasta and toss, heat through and sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving, if desired.
