• Heat 1 Tbs. of the butter, and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, until butter begins to brown.
• Place chicken in the pan, and sear on one side, until it is very brown, about 3 minutes. Flip chicken and sear the other side until very brown, about another 1 ½ minutes. Work in batches so as not to crowd the pan.

Steps:

• Prepare noodles according to package directions and set aside.
• Trim chicken breasts of fat and cut into bite sized pieces. (If doing restaurant style you may prefer to leave the breasts whole or cut into strips, up to you).
• Saute chicken in butter. If you are doing restaurant style us only 1-2 tbsp of butter, reserving the rest.
• Add cajun seasoning to chicken while it sautes, adding the ingredients to taste, you can always add more later.
• For family style, once chicken is cooked, stir in half and half or cream and cheeses. Bring to a low boil and stir until melted and creamy. Toss with pasta and serve!
• For restaurant style, melt remaining butter in a medium sauce pan, add half and half or cream. Melt in cheeses, stir to combine. Toss with pasta and place chicken on top.

Steps:

• Coat the chicken in the Cajun seasoning and throw everything in the crock pot on low for 4-5 hours. (I find it best to heat the cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds and then mix the soups with the cream cheese).
• Add the Parmesan cheese an hour before serving. Linguini noodles are my favorite pasta to use with this dish, but any pasta will do. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Steps:

Blacken by cooking 2 to 3 minutes on the first side without stirring. Flip the chicken pieces to blacken the other side until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove the chicken to a bowl and lower the heat to medium.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cooked chicken.
