Blackened Chicken Alfredo
Blackened chicken alfredo spiced to perfection in blackened cajun seasoning mixed with a creamy, homemade alfredo sauce that's crazy easy to do.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- blackened seasoning
- 8 ounce Fettuccine pasta, dry
Alfredo Sauce
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 2 ounces parmesan cheese, chopped
- salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, prep the chicken. Cover the chicken with the blackened seasoning. You can go a bit heavy with it because some will fall off in the cooking process anyway. Don't worry about over seasoning.
- In a frying pan on medium high heat add oil, once the oil is hot add the chicken. Do not crowd the pieces of chicken. Cook in batches if the pan is small. After the chicken is done place in the oven at 275℉. This will keep the chicken warm while you prepare the sauce. For larger pieces, sear the chicken well then finish cooking in the oven at 400℉ until the chicken reaches a safe interval temperature.
- Before starting the sauce put the pasta noodles on and cook per instructions of the package.
- For the alfredo sauce, chop up the parmesan cheese from the block and weigh out the chunks. In a sauce pan on medium heat add in the heavy cream. You will need to stir often. Once you notice bubbles starting to rise add in the chopped parmesan cheese.
- Then, allow the heavy cream to continue to simmer while you stir every now and then. You'll notice the alfredo sauce thickening really quickly. Once the sauce reaches the desired thickness turn off the stove. Season the sauce with salt. How much will vary but start with 1 teaspoon, adjust to taste.
- Next, add in the cooked pasta with a small amount of pasta water (about 1 TB) into the sauce and toss everything together. Taste for seasoning for salt and pepper.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and slice it up and add into the sauced pasta. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and serve.
