Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (salt-free)
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Toss the chicken strips thoroughly with the Cajun seasoning until every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for thirty seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chicken broth until the sauce thickens.
  8. Add the cooked chicken and pasta back into the skillet, tossing until well coated and heated through.

Notes

Use high-quality bronze-cut pasta for better sauce adhesion. Ensure cream is at room temperature before adding to the pan to prevent separation. Serve immediately for the best texture.
