Ingredients
  

Pasta and Chicken
  • 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • 1 lb chicken breast sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
Creamy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Cook the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with Cajun seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken back into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
