Serves 1
Directions
- 1Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over the chicken, then rub in 4 tbsp of Cajun seasoning. Make sure it's fully coated and looking bronzed.
- 2Boil salted water and cook your fettuccine until just shy of al dente (check the box time, subtract a minute). Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and drizzle and toss with olive oil to prevent clumping.
- 3In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp avocado oil. Once shimmering, add your chicken breasts and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until blackened.
- 4Reduce the heat to medium-low, toss in 2 tbsp of butter and 4 minced garlic cloves. Let the butter melt and baste the chicken as it finishes cooking. Once fully cooked, remove and set aside.
- 5In the same pan, pour in ¼ cup of cooking wine and let it simmer for a minute to deglaze the pan.
- 6Melt the remaining butter (6 tablespoons) over medium heat. Add your minced garlic (6 to 8 cloves) and sauté for about 2 minutes.
- 7Add 2 cups of room temperature heavy cream. Stir and bring it to a low simmer, then toss in your parmesan.
- 8Simmer for a couple of minutes while stirring until melted and smooth. As needed, loosen it with a bit of that reserved pasta water (I recommend around 1/3 cup) and simmer until your desired consistency is reached.
- 9Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce and toss to coat.
- 10Slice your rested chicken and lay it on top.
- 11Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra parmesan.
