1
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, chicken tenders, Cajun seasoning, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper.
3
In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
4
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest.
5
In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
6
Pour the store-bought Alfredo sauce into the pan and whisk to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
7
Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat. Stir in the lemon zest, half of the chopped parsley, and adjust salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the pasta in individual plates, top with the cooked chicken, and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
