Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine and let it cook until al dente, around 8–10 minutes. Reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, combine diced chicken breast, Cajun seasoning, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and sauté for 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey and let it simmer for 1 minute. Then pour in heavy cream, stirring until combined. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet and toss in the creamy sauce until fully coated. Add the drained fettuccine and gently toss everything together.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
