0 servings
What you need
lb fettucine, uncooked
chicken breast, boneless, skinless
tbsp cajun seasoning
tbsp salted butter
garlic clove, finely minced
cup heavy cream
cup whole milk
cup grated parmesan cheese, *
fresh parsley, for garnish
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
0 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. 1 Slice the chicken breasts in half if very thick. Season liberally with Cajun seasoning on both sides. 2 Heat the butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. 3 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. 4 Remove the chicken from the skillet, and set aside. Slice into bite-sized pieces. 5 Add the garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1-2 minutes. 6 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. 7 Give the sauce a taste, and add extra salt and pepper, if necessary. 8 Add the pasta to the sauce, and toss until coated. 9 Serve the pasta in bowls, then top with the Cajun chicken breasts. 10 Garnish with parsley and more Cajun seasoning, if desired, and enjoy immediately.View original recipe
