Method
Cooking the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Preparing the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water as needed.
Combining Ingredients
- Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the drained fettuccine, tossing gently to coat everything with the sauce.
Serving
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For a beautiful presentation, twirl the fettuccine into nests on individual plates and lay the sliced chicken on top. Pair with a salad or garlic bread.
