Steps:
- Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage and chicken with the Creole seasoning until the meat is about halfway done. Add the mushrooms, green onion, green pepper and red pepper. Saute over medium heat until the mushrooms begin to shrink, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth and milk, season with lemon pepper and garlic powder, and reduce the heat to medium-low. (Now is a good time to start boiling water for the pasta.) Mix together the cornstarch and cold water until dissolved - I like to use a coffee mug. Stir into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until the sauce returns to a boil. Boil for one minute, then remove from heat and set aside. Serve hot over cooked pasta.
- Place pasta in a large pot of lightly salted water. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Drain.

CREOLE CHICKEN PASTA
I got the idea for this recipe from #39087 and expanded on it. The recipe for slow roasted tomatoes is from Delish.com The roasted tomatoes give this sauce a really great, rich flavor. I usually make a bunch and freeze them for later. Way better than sun-dried tomatoes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Try to use fresh, organic produce, and high-quality chicken and pasta.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear on the chicken.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the dish together, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a creamy sauce made with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Creole seasoning. You can also try a tomato-based sauce or a pesto sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro, can add a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish. Garnish with them just before serving.
