CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

I’ve made this before and it was delicious!!! Going to try it this weekend but substituting the chicken for shrimp.
I sauteed the breasts in the olive oil. Removed them when done. I then added the butter & garlic in the same pan. After an minute or so I added about 3/4 cup of chicken broth & 1/2 cup of white wine with the lemon (used 1/2 lemon juiced instead of zest). I added the tomatoes, then cheese. Sliced the chicken. plated the pasta with sauce on. top. Added the sliced breasts along with parsley and sliced scallions. VERY YUMMY! The added broth & wine made the sauce less gooey.
