Ingredients

Scale

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

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.
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.
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.
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!
