Cajun Chicken Pasta

A rich and creamy sauce packed with a ton of flavor.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

This pasta sauce has an amazing flavor. It is easy to make and I will be making this pretty often in the future. I may have to see how it turns out with some half and half because it is loaded with calories and fat. BUT SOOO GOOODDD!!!!!!

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
  • 1 heaped tablespoon cajun spice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 14oz heavy whipping cream
  • 8oz fettuccini noodles (cooked al dente)

Note

I used a simple, homemeade Cajun seasoning for this dish.

Directions

Step 1 Season chicken with cajun seasoning and salt to your taste. Heat pan to medium-high heat and brown chicken. Remove chicken from pan. Start to boil water and cook noodles according to package.
Step 2 Add green onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes to pan and cook for about one minute. Add white wine to pan to deglaze. Cook until wine is reduced by half.
Step 3 Add heavy cream and remaining spices to pan. Return chicken to pan. Heat until thick and creamy to your consistancy. Put cooked noodles into the sauce pan and stir.
Step 4 Serve the dish! Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and cajun seasoning.
