Ingredients

• 12 ounces fettuccine
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 tablespoons Louisiana Cajun Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Equipment

• 1 Large pot For cooking the pasta
• 1 Large skillet Wide enough to hold the sauce and pasta
• 1 Tongs For tossing the chicken and pasta
• 1 Wooden spoon For stirring the sauce
• 1 set Measuring cups For liquid ingredients
• 1 set Measuring spoons For seasonings

Method

 

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
2. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Heat the Louisiana Cajun Infused Olive Oil Blend and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet, then add the cooked fettuccine and toss until everything is well coated. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce needs loosening.
8. Finish with lemon juice and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust with a little more salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

The Cajun oil builds the flavor foundation here, so add it to the skillet first and let the chicken pick up that spice-rich base. If the sauce gets too thick, the reserved pasta water brings it back to a silky finish. Fresh Parmesan melts best for a smooth Alfredo texture.

Recipe Tips

• Slice the chicken evenly so it cooks at the same pace.
• Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer after the cream goes in so it stays smooth.
• Add the Parmesan a handful at a time and stir until melted before adding more.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
• Finish with extra Parmesan and a little chopped parsley.
• Pair with roasted broccoli or asparagus for a full plate.

Storage

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat slowly on the stove with a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce.
• Stir well while reheating so the pasta warms evenly.

Variations

• Swap the chicken for shrimp and reduce the simmer time.
• Add sautéed mushrooms for a deeper savory note.
• Use penne instead of fettuccine for a shorter pasta option.
