Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the chicken
Cut 1 1/2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, making sure the pieces are evenly coated.
Cook the chicken
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 16 oz of fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Prepare the garlic
Mince 4 garlic cloves.
Prepare the Alfredo sauce
In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add cream and seasonings
Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Add cheese
Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine ingredients
Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat evenly, adding some of the reserved pasta cooking water if needed to thin the sauce.
Prepare the parsley
Finely chop 1/4 cup of fresh parsley.
Serve and enjoy
Serve the Cajun Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with the chopped parsley. Enjoy your creamy, spicy, and satisfying meal!
