Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Halve the chicken breasts horizontally (resulting in two thin fillets) then season generously on both sides with the Cajun seasoning.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil then add the chicken. Cook for a few minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- By this time, the water should be boiling. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water before draining.
- In the same pan the chicken was cooked in, add the butter, onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the Cajun seasoning and stir into the onions. Pour in the cream and lemon juice then bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reduce the heat and add the Parmesan. Stir until the sauce is smooth then season to taste.
- Toss the drained pasta with the creamy sauce. Add a few tablespoons of pasta water. Stir to coat the pasta in the sauce, and add more water if you want it to be saucier. Feel free to add more grated Parmesan too. Slice the chicken thinly then add to the pasta.
- Serve topped with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain when the pasta is still al dente; do not overcook!
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun spice (or more) over the chicken cubes. Toss around to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Add half the chicken in a single layer; do not stir. Allow the chicken to brown on one side, about 1 minute. Flip to the other side and cook an additional minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Remove the chicken, leaving the skillet on high heat. Add the remaining butter and olive oil. When heated, add the garlic, peppers and onions. Sprinkle on the remaining Cajun spice, and add salt if needed. Cook over high heat for 1 minute, stirring gently and trying to get the vegetables as dark/black as possible. Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove all the vegetables from the skillet.
- With the skillet still over high heat, pour in the chicken broth and wine. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the cream, stirring/whisking constantly. Cook the sauce over medium-low heat for a few minutes, until the cream starts to thicken the mixture. Taste and add freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and/or salt to taste. The sauce should be spicy!
- Finally, add the chicken and vegetables to the sauce, making sure to include all the juices that have drained onto the plate. Stir and cook until the mixture is bubbly and hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the drained fettuccine and toss to combine.
- Top with chopped fresh parsley and chow down!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the peppers and onions and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, 1 minute.
- Add the pasta, chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the cream cheese and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Stir until the cream cheese is combined and melted. Don't worry if the sauce looks runny, it will thicken as it sits. Top with sliced scallions.
