Directions

To make Cajun spice, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and fine herbes.

Set aside.

Put the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper and pound to flatten.

Moisten breasts with water and rub with Cajun spice (reserve ¼ teaspoon for the sauce).

Spray a very hot cast-iron pan with vegetable spray and then quickly fry breasts for 4 to 6 minutes, or until done.

Remove breasts and slice into thin strips.

Set aside.

Sauté garlic and onion in a small pan that has been sprayed with vegetable spray, until onion is soft.

Add broth, tomato, wine, fresh herbs and ¼ teaspoon of the Cajun spice.

Simmer for 8 minutes.

Season with salt to taste.

Meanwhile cook pasta, drain, and place on a platter.

Lay chicken on pasta and then drizzle with sauce.
