Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and sear for about 6–8 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and honey to the drippings. Stir until the butter melts and garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add fettuccine or linguine and cook for 10–12 minutes until al dente.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the pot and pour in heavy cream. Stir well and let simmer for 5–6 minutes.
  6. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust sauce consistency with broth if needed.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
