Lemon Chicken and Veggie Pasta image

This can be a little spicy depending on the heat of the chiles in the can. Ro-Tel® tends to be milder than Hatch® brand. You can also substitute asparagus, zucchini, and Cajun seasoning with broccoli, snap peas, and ginger for an Asian flavor.

Time 55m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 teaspoon lemon pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 large chicken tender strips
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as Hatch®)
1 onion, quartered
1 cup (1 1/2-inch) sliced asparagus
6 baby carrots, thinly sliced

  • Mix lemon pepper, thyme, parsley, rosemary, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl.
