Ingredients
Scale
8 oz fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb chicken breast, sliced into strips
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken breast seasoned with Cajun seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to thicken slightly before adding Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully melted.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the skillet. Mix thoroughly, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired creaminess.
Plate the pasta and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
