Print Recipe

A rich and flavorful dish that combines creamy pasta with bold Cajun spices and tender chicken, perfect for a satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with Cajun seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add more Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • This dish can be made with shrimp instead of chicken for a different flavor.
