Mesquite Chicken Pasta

I've made a few variations of this in the past, but this time it was my favorite, and easiest. Maybe that's why it was my favorite? I used a variation found here - http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/cajun-chicken-pasta/detail.aspx

pasta
chicken
mesquite seasoning
butter
sour cream

I had previously cooked some pasta shells that were in the fridge I needed to use so I thawed a chicken breast and cooked it in a skillet with some mesquite seasoning. I added a little butter and cut the chicken breast into bite-sized strips. Once fully cooked I set aside on plate.

Turned heat to low and with the burning mesquite seasoning on the bottom of the pan I added 1/2 cup sour cream, stirring constantly and a little milk to get a good sauce consistency and all the flavor from the bottom of the pan was mixed in. Added about 1/4 tsp of the following-
onion flakes
dried basil
lemon pepper
garlic powder
salt
pepper

Added some parmesan cheese and threw my cooked pasta into the pan, mixing until it was all coated. I add the chicken and there you have it!

I forgot after I ate it I wanted to add some cherry tomatoes I had sitting in the fridge. You could also saute some red and green bell pepper with your chicken that would be tasty!
