Ingredients Needed<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

to prepare this yummy recipe, you will need the following ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Cajun Seasoning:<\/strong> I use my own blend of spices for this to ensure the best taste (see below)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chicken Breast:<\/strong> These are flattened with a meat tenderizer to ensure even cooking, you can either use 2 large chicken breast, butterflied in half to make 4 chicken breasts, or use 4 small chicken breast - total weight you want is around 700g<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Low Calorie Spray<\/strong> - Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer olive oil or avocado sprays without any added emulsifiers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Garlic:<\/strong> fresh garlic minced, but lazy or jarred mince garlic is fine also<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Stock:<\/strong> For the stock, chicken or vegetable varieties complement the other ingredients best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Milk Choice: <\/strong>I prefer semi-skimmed milk, though whole milk works well too. Avoid skimmed milk, as it tends to be too watery and won't result in the desired creamy sauce. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Fettucine Pasta<\/strong> - I typically go for fettucine or tagliatelle in this recipe, but feel free to use any pasta shape you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Parmesan - use freshly grated parmesan to ensure it melts properly into the sauce. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Low Calorie Spray<\/strong> - Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer olive oil or avocado sprays without any added emulsifiers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Fresh parsley <\/strong>- it's the perfect finishing touch for the dish. You can skip it if you'd like, but it adds a delightful and healthy touch of green to the overall presentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Salt and Pepper<\/strong> - These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Homemade Cajun Seasoning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
