Ingredients

For the Cajun Chicken:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)

For the Fettuccine Alfredo:

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes or bell peppers (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Cajun Chicken: Toss cubed chicken with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and sear chicken for 4–5 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Slowly whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return chicken to the skillet, add cooked pasta, and toss to coat in the sauce. Add pasta water if needed to loosen sauce. Optional: Mix in diced tomatoes or bell peppers for extra freshness and color. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
