California Chicken Pasta

I'm sharing this one so that I can find the recipe easily the next time I want it. Which could be tomorrow because I loved this stuff. A lot.

California Chicken Pasta
(Adapted from Allrecipes.com)

8 oz dry spaghetti or other pasta
1.5 oz olive oil
1 1/2 chicken breasts, sliced in strips
Heavy sprinkling of garlic powder
1 Tbsp. dry basil
1/2 Tbsp. cajun seasoning (add more or less to your spice preference)
Heavy sprinkling Italian seasoning
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/3 c. crumbled feta cheese (or lots more if you love feta like me!)

Cook the pasta according to package directions.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large frying pan and brown the chicken. Once browned, add in the garlic, basil, and cajun seasonings. Mix well and then add the tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

Drain the pasta and return to its pot. Pour the chicken mixture over the top and toss until well coated. Serve topped with feta cheese.
