Cajun Chicken Fettucine - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 tablespoons cajun seasoning
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 9-ounce pkg fresh fettuccine
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup half and half
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 large red bell peppers
8 green onions
Preparation
-
Dip chicken first in butter on both sides, then in cajun seasoning. Set aside on platter. Wash red bell peppers, cut lengthwise and remove core, and cut in 1\" wide strips. Wash and trim green onions, leaving whole and about 5 to 6 inches long. Set aside.
Fill medium pot with water 2/3 full and bring to boil. Preheat outdoor gas grill. Place fettuccine in boiling water and separate gently with pasta fork. Put chicken breasts on HOT grill, close lid, cook 4 minutes. Remove pasta and rinse and drain, place in warm spot. In the pot you used for the pasta, melt butter over low heat. Turn chicken on grill, and grill the pieces of bell pepper while chicken finishes cooking, about 3 minutes. Remove cooked chicken and peppers from grill, quickly cover with aluminum foil and place in preheated oven (325 degrees). Add half and half and cayenne to melted butter, place cooked fettucine in pot, and toss together with sauce.
To serve, slice each chicken breast in 1/2\" slices lengthwise. Divide pasta among four plates, and place one sliced breast over top of pasta on each plate. Garnish with the green onions and grilled peppers.
