Ingredients:
Serves 4
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (plus more to taste)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Boil fettuccine in salted water according to package instructions. Add broccoli during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
Season and cook the chicken: Toss chicken strips with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and cook until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
