I love that dish too! Here's a recipe that sounds really close to it!

Bayou Pasta With Chicken (Copycat Chilis Cajun Chicken Pasta)

Note from Chef:

"I got this recipe from a place that claimed it as a copycat of Chilis Cajun Chicken Pasta, so I had to try it, and was pleasantly surprised that it DID taste a lot like it!"

12 ounces penne
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 firm-ripe roma tomatoes, cored and diced

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne according to package directions.
Melt butter over medium heat. Add flour; stir for 1 minute. Add half-and-half; stir until thickened, 6 minutes. Remove from heat; add parmesan, salt and pepper. Cover.
Pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Rub Cajun seasoning and cayenne evenly over chicken. Warm oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning once, until no longer pink in center, 6-8 minutes. Slick chicken.
In a bowl, toss pasta with sauce. Top with chicken and tomatoes and serve.
