Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine all spices for the cajun seasoning and mix together. Set aside. Store any extra in an airtight container for future use.
- In a heavy bottom pot (such as a Dutch oven), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced chicken and 2½ tablespoons of the prepared cajun seasoning.
- Add the andouille sausage and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the meat from the pot and add the remaining olive oil.
- Add the garlic, diced peppers and onions and cook until the onions are transparent and softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the milk and stir so that the seasoning is incorporated into the liquid.
- Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Add the uncooked fettuccine, stirring constantly until the noodles are al dente, about 10 minutes.
- On low heat, add the meat back in and stir so that it’s evenly incorporated.
- Add the cheese and parsley, and stir. Remove from the heat.
- Enjoy!
