Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp butter
- 8 oz linguine
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup parmesan cheese grated and more for serving
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions sliced thinly for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet and brown the sliced chicken breasts along with the Cajun seasoning until fully cooked.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Simmer until slightly thickened and mix in the cooked fettuccine. Serve with sliced green onions on top and extra parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the skillet and the butter are hot before adding the chicken so it can brown properly.
- If your butter burns regularly, try adding a bit of olive oil to it.
- Parmesan cheese is a bit salty, so be careful not to add too much extra salt.
