Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite size chunks
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
6 garlic cloves minced
1 1/2 cups mushrooms chopped
1 cup bacon bits
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
8 ounces fettuccine pasta dried, half of a 1 pound box
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1
Add the oil to a large pot (or large high sided skillet). Place over medium-high heat for two minutes. Add the chicken and the Cajun seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic. Cook 1 minute, stirring often.
2
Add mushrooms and bacon bits, cook until mushrooms reduce a little in size.
3
Add the broth and milk.
4
Break the pasta in half and add it to the pot. Cover and bring to a rapid, rolling boil, stirring occasionally. *Note: Watch the pot carefully during the beginning of the cooking process as milk tends to boil over easily.
5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the pasta simmer, covered, for 8-13 minutes. Stir every 2-3 minutes to prevent sticking.
6
Cook until there is 1/4 to 1/2 inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot.
7
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
