Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, draining and reserving ½ cup of the pasta water.
- While the pasta cooks, season diced boneless chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter, and melt completely, swirling to incorporate bits from the skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in honey and let simmer for about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream while stirring to blend, cooking for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mix to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Add drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.
- Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
