Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (1 lb), diced
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, sliced (adjust for heat preference)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Dice chicken, chop jalapeños (wear gloves), and mince garlic.
  2. Cook the fettuccine: Boil salted water, add fettuccine, and cook until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
  3. Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown (6-8 minutes).
