Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

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

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.

    Cook the Pasta: 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.

      Sauté the Chicken: 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.

        Make the Alfredo Sauce: 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.

          Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything gently until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

            Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and place them on top of the pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
