Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Can you feel the calories already? :) Preheat the oven to 350F

Lets start with the chicken. After rinsing it, pat dry with a paper towel. Place it between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it to flatten to about 1/4 inch thickness. Once done, sprinkle loads of the cajun spice. Make sure its nicely coated

Heat a tbsp of butter and a tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken on one side until brown, flip it over and do the same. Should take 3-5mins. Once brown on both sides, transfer to a baking sheet and bake until the chicken is well cooked. Leave the left over brown bits in the skillet, we will need it shortly

While the chicken is cooking, cook the fettucine according to the package directions

Next slice the tomatoes length wise and mince the garlic - about 3 cloves should be good

Reheat the skillet over medium high heat. Pour in the stock to deglaze the pan.Use a whisk for this step to get all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Next add the tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and allow the mixture to lightly caramelise. I smashed the tomatoes with the spoon

While this is happening, the chicken should be done. Once it has cooled a little, slice it lengthwise,or into smaller pieces if you like

Back to the skillet! Reduce the heat to low and pour in the cream (eye ball the amount). Add a little bit more butter :) and continue to stir the cream mixture as it simmers

For the final and best part.... THE CHEESE... add all your favourite kinds. Pour the cooked fettucines into the sauce. Toss the chicken on top and toss the pasta and chicken in the sauce until everything is well coated... Season with salt/pepper if needed

If you don't want to go through the whole cheese buying and grating process, buy a jar of alfredo sauce and use it instead!

Serve!!!
