Optionally, you may also need a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water to thicken the sauce.

Other items needed to complete this meal:

Meat Tenderizer/Mallet

However, if you’re creative you can find all kinds of things to replace a mallet. For instance, a rolling pin or cutting board are great ways to quickly tenderize meat.

Plastic Wrap/Saran Wrap. This is to keep the meat juices from flying while you tenderize them.

How to Make Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Tenderize chicken breasts with a mallet and mix together all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Dredge each chicken breast and shake off excess flour.

In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, pan-fry chicken breasts for 2-4 minutes per side until chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Set the chicken on a cutting board and cut into thin strips.

In a large pot of boiling water, cook fettuccine noodles according to package directions, and then strain water.

While the noodles cook, use the same large pan the chicken cooked in and melt 1 tablespoon butter.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add grape tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, and then add minced garlic to cook for 30-60 seconds more, or until fragrant.

Pour white wine, chicken broth, and heavy whipping cream into the pan and stir. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.

If the sauce has not thickened, mix together 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 2 tablespoons water and add it to the sauce over a simmer. Be sure to stir continuously as it thickens quickly.

Add the noodles to the pan and toss to coat. Serve Cajun chicken strips over fettuccine.
