Description
A creamy, flavorful blackened chicken Alfredo dish that combines perfectly seasoned chicken breasts with a rich Parmesan sauce and fettuccine, perfect for impressing guests or a cozy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 8 ounces fettuccine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with blackened seasoning on both sides.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
- Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stir gently, and bring to a simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat the pasta.
- Slice the blackened chicken and place it atop the pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the seasoning or sauce. Consider lighter alternatives with half-and-half or plant-based cream.
