FETTUCCINE WITH CHICKEN, CAJUN STYLE



Fettuccine With Chicken, Cajun Style image

Oh! This is wonderful! It takes a fair amount of prep work, but it makes huge quantities. You can store the seasoning mix in a dry container, and freeze the extra sauce (you only need 2 cups for the dinner). It is very spicy, so if you don't like spicy, you might want to adjust some of the ingredients. This recipe was published in the Honolulu Advertiser and is from Ryan's Grill in Honolulu.

Tips:

  • Brining the chicken: Brining the chicken breasts in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to keep them moist and flavorful during cooking. If you don't have time to brine the chicken, you can skip this step, but it is recommended for the best results.
  • Seasoning the chicken: Be generous with the Cajun seasoning when seasoning the chicken breasts. This will help to give them a bold and flavorful crust.
  • Cooking the chicken: Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat until they are cooked through. This will help to keep them juicy and prevent them from drying out.
  • Making the sauce: The sauce for this dish is made with a combination of butter, flour, milk, and Cajun seasoning. Be sure to cook the sauce until it is thickened and bubbly. This will help to ensure that it coats the pasta evenly.
  • Adding the pasta: Once the sauce is finished, add the cooked fettuccine noodles and stir to combine. Be sure to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
  • Garnishing the dish: Before serving, garnish the dish with chopped green onions and parsley. This will add a pop of color and freshness.

Conclusion:

This Cajun-style chicken fettuccine is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the sauce is creamy and delicious, and the fettuccine noodles are cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
