Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces andouille sausage
• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), diced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the andouille sausage into rings and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and cook the chicken, about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove and set aside with the sausage and chicken.

Step 5

Add the diced bell peppers, onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, paprika, and dried thyme over the vegetables, stirring well to coat evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Return the sausage, chicken, and shrimp to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sauce.

Step 10

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped scallions and parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
