Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta

I tested a few recipes for this dish and this is by far my favorite! The best part? It's made in ONE POT! Hooray for little cleanup!

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small package chicken fajita strips
2-4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups half and half
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 oz. dried fettuccini pasta
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1.Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Cube the chicken strips and add the chicken and season with 1-2 teaspoons cajun seasoning. 2.Cook until the chicken is warmed throughout. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.
3.Add the broth, half and half, 1-2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, butter, and garlic powder to the pot.
4.Break the fettuccine noodles in half and add them to the pot.
5.Cover and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook for 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are done.
6.Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
