• 250 g Chicken (Sliced)
• 147 g Mushrooms (Sliced)
• 12 g Garlic (Chopped)
• 1 tbsp Oil (Use to mix with the seasoned chicken and heat in the pan; the source lists 1 tablespoon total)
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan (Use up to 2/3 cup, to taste; serve with extra Parmesan if desired)
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt (To taste for the sauce and mushrooms)
• Black pepper (To taste for the sauce)
• 0.25 tsp Salt (For seasoning the chicken)
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (For seasoning the chicken)

• 0.25 tsp Garlic powder (For seasoning the chicken)
• 0.25 tsp Onion powder (For seasoning the chicken)
• 0.25 tsp Cajun seasoning (For seasoning the chicken)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the sliced chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well with the 1 tablespoon oil so the chicken is evenly coated.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

4. 4

   Add the sliced mushrooms to the same pan. Sauté until softened and lightly browned, then season with a little salt.

5. 5

   Add the chopped garlic and butter to the mushrooms. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant.

6. 6

   Pour in the heavy cream. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

7. 7

   Stir in the grated Parmesan and mix until it has melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan.

8. 8

   Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce and toss until the pasta and chicken are thoroughly coated.

9. 9

   Serve hot with extra Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

The source says the Parmesan amount was added to taste, ranging from 1/2 to 2/3 cup. The directions do not specify the exact cooking time for the chicken or mushrooms; cook the chicken until fully cooked through and the mushrooms until softened and lightly browned.
