Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (mix of red and green)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic, diced bell peppers, and onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the fettuccine pasta to the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the broth. Cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot and combine everything thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
