Indulge in Flavor: Cajin Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 breasts boneless, skinless chicken
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• to taste salt and pepper
• for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Rub the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Two minutes before the pasta is done, add in the broccoli florets. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything gently until the pasta is well coated.
6. Slice the chicken breasts and place them on top of the pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
