Ingredients
4 Servings
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 chicken breasts
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 red bell pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 yellow bell pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
Step 7
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them back into the skillet. Stir to coat with the sauce.
Step 8
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet and toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
