One Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken strips generously with Cajun seasoning.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for another 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the broth to slightly reduce.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix it with the sauce and vegetables.
9. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss everything together to coat the pasta thoroughly with the sauce.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
