Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta (, uncooked)
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese* (, finely grated)
  • Fresh parsley (, for garnish)
  • Fine Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper (, for seasoning)

Instruction

  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Follow the instructions on its packaging. Drain in a colander, drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half if very thick. Season liberally with the Cajun seasoning on both sides.
  • Heat the butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat.
  • When the butter bubbles, add the chicken, and sear on both sides until browned and cooked through, about 5-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet, and set aside. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add the garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to low, and pour in the cream and milk. Add the grated parmesan cheese, and stir until smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Give the sauce a taste, and add extra salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce, and toss until coated.
  • Serve the pasta in bowls, then top with the Cajun chicken breasts.
  • Garnish with parsley and more Cajun seasoning, if desired, and enjoy immediately.
