Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts Merman’s Revenge® Cajun Seasoning.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Cook the Fettuccine:
While the chicken is grilling, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked fettuccine to the Cajun Hot sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve:
Divide the creamy fettuccine between plates or bowls.
Top each serving with the grilled chicken slices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Optional Add-Ins:
You can add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted cherry tomatoes to the pasta for more flavor and texture.
A drizzle of lemon juice on the chicken adds a bright, fresh note.
