WW Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe

I got this from the WW boards. You can sub shrimp for chicken. I suppose it would lower the points.
It was easy to make and tasted pretty good. I can't be a good judge though because I had an oops with the cajun seasoning so I think mine was a little overkill on the cajun. I know people on WW boards rave about this though.

Re: WW Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe

Maybe my portion sizes are askew cause I'm a fattie- but is this supposed to be a side dish?

Only 8oz. of pasta for 4 people...thats 2oz per person....doesn't seem like much Maybe its mostly chicken though...
