Prepare noodles according to package directions and set aside.
Trim chicken breasts of fat and cut into bite sized pieces. (If doing restaurant style you may prefer to leave the breasts whole or cut into strips, up to you).
Saute chicken in butter. If you are doing restaurant style us only 1-2 tbsp of butter, reserving the rest.
Add cajun seasoning to chicken while it sautes, adding the ingredients to taste, you can always add more later.
For family style, once chicken is cooked, stir in half and half or cream and cheeses.
Bring to a low boil and stir until melted and creamy.
Toss with pasta and serve!
For restaurant style, melt remaining butter in a medium sauce pan, add half and half or cream. Melt in cheeses, stir to combine. Toss with pasta and place chicken on top.

Well, I think I'd make a basic Alredo sauce, and add some cayenee pepper and black pepper to it (maybe 1/8th tsp each).
Season your bnls sknls chicken breasts w/ Tony Chachere's or other creole seasoning, grill over high heat, then slice thinly and place atop your alredo'd noodles.
Real Fettucine Alredo
1 pound fresh fettucine
8 Tbsp. butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmigginao-Reggiano cheese
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg
As the water for the pasta begins to boil, melt butter in large sauté pan over low heat. Add cream to butter and let it warm.
At the same time, salt the pasta water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta thoroughly, and mix with butter and cream in sauté pan over low heat. Add cheese and toss until sauce thickens slightly. Season with pepper and nutmeg.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with additional cheese on the side.
Serves 4-6
