Instructions
Creating Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Fettuccine: Boil water in a large pot and add salt. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts. Make sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well.
5. Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss it in the sauce until well coated.
7. Slice Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and arrange it on top of the fettuccine.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish.
