Herb and Chicken Pasta

We made this last night. It was quick and easy and from allrecipes.com. It has a little kick from the Cajun seasoning and the crushed red pepper, but my kids still ate it up, and wanted more! Oh and I didn't have angel hair, but I used thin spaghetti. I suppose any pasta would work.
