Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

  • Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  • Season the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Add the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Create the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and allow it to simmer gently. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted.
  • Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss in the cooked pasta. Adjust the sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  • Add Mozzarella: Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted. Season with more Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
