How to Make Cajun Chicken With Fettuccine

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions, until al dente (about 8 minutes).
  2. While pasta cooks, in a medium bowl, toss the pre-cooked chicken strips with 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning.
  3. Prepare the remaining ingredients: slice bell peppers and tomatoes, and slice pepperoni if using.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 4 minutes, or until heated through.
  6. Add the sliced bell peppers, chopped tomatoes, and pepperoni (if using) to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined.
  8. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy Cajun sauce.
  9. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
