Method
Cook the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and blackened. Remove from skillet and let rest.
Prepare the Pasta
- In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Make the Alfredo Sauce
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using), whisking until smooth and creamy.
Combine and Serve
- Slice the blackened chicken into strips.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water.
- Top with sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
