Step 1
Cook pasta according to package directions on the box. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Pat dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel. Season with cajun seasoning and rub it all around.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes. (If using large chicken breasts, cut them in half horizontally to make thinner cuts. They will cook quicker.) Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil.
Step 4
Melt butter in the same skillet or saucepan. Add diced onion and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add in the minced garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Whisk in heavy cream, lemon zest, and grated parmesan. Whisk for 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 6
Slice the chicken and add on top of the pasta. Spoon the sauce over the top and then garnish with diced tomatoes, parsley, green onions, and shredded parmesan. Enjoy immediately.
