Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz Fettuccine
Chicken
  • 1 lb Chicken breast sliced into strips
Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup Bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup Onion sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced

Method
 

Cook Pasta
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare Chicken
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Make Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cooked chicken and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Combine
  1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve
  1. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
