paso a paso

Preparación

  1. Temper and flatten the chicken

    • Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter while you prep.
    • Flatten each breast slightly for even searing.
    Paso 1
  2. Season the chicken

    • Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub it in.
    • Coat the chicken fully with the Cajun seasoning.
    Paso 2
  3. Cook the fettuccine

    • Boil salted water and cook the fettuccine until just shy of al dente.
    • Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and toss the pasta with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent clumping.
    Paso 3
  4. Sear the chicken

    • Heat the avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
    • Add the chicken breasts and sear until blackened and cooked through.
    Paso 4
  5. Baste with garlic butter

    • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add part of the butter with some of the minced garlic.
    • Let the butter melt and baste the chicken as it finishes cooking.
    • Remove the chicken and set aside to rest.
    Paso 5
  6. Deglaze the pan

    • Pour the cooking wine into the same pan and let it simmer to deglaze.
    • Melt the remaining butter over medium heat, add the rest of the minced garlic and sauté.
    Paso 6
  7. Build the Alfredo sauce

    • Add the room temperature heavy cream, stir and bring to a low simmer.
    • Add the Parmesan and stir until melted and smooth.
    • Loosen with reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
    Paso 7
  8. Combine and serve

    • Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce and toss to coat.
    • Slice the rested chicken and lay it on top.
    • Sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan.
