Step-by-step
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
- In a large saucepan add chicken and cook until done. Add red and green pepper and cook until al dente. Add cajun seasoning.
- Add chicken mixture to sauce. Add this to pasta. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.
As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for ways to make quick and easy meals that my family will love. This recipe for Cajun chicken pasta is a favorite in our household, because it's packed with flavor and can be on the table in under 30 minutes.
The key to this dish is the rich, flavorful sauce. I start by melting butter in a large saucepan, then whisking in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Once the sauce is simmering, I stir in grated Parmesan and Romano cheese, which thickens it up and gives it a delicious, cheesy flavor.
While the sauce is simmering, I cook the chicken in a separate pan. Once the chicken is cooked through, I add it to the sauce along with chopped red and green bell peppers. A generous sprinkle of Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning gives the dish its signature flavor.
Finally, I add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir until it's evenly coated. I serve the Cajun chicken pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley. It's a delicious, comforting dish that's perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
