Ingredients
  

12 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet, let rest for a couple of minutes, then slice it into strips.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced bell peppers. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

          Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

            Combine Everything: Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

              Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy your delicious and creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta!
