Ingredients
200g fettuccine pasta

1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Coat chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
3. Boil fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
6. Gradually add mozzarella and Parmesan, stirring until the sauce is smooth.
7. Slice cooked chicken and return to the skillet.
8. Add the fettuccine and a splash of pasta water, tossing everything to coat.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan or parsley.
Notes
Always reserve some pasta water for adjusting sauce consistency.
Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Use freshly grated cheese for a smoother sauce.
