Cajun Chicken Pasta With A Creamy Sauce

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Start by cubing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

Heat infused olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the cubed chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.

In the same skillet, add diced onion and sauté until softened.

Add minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking until fragrant.

Pour in heavy whipping cream and stir to combine, allowing it to cook down and thicken.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the sauce, using your hand as a strainer to catch seeds.

Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.

Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet, mixing everything together.

Serve hot, garnished with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
