Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c butter
2 - 3 clove garlic, minced
1 3/4 c heavy cream
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c grated parmesan
3/4 c grated romano cheese
pinch nutmeg
12 - 16 oz prepared fettuccine noodles ( box instructions )
olive oil for frying and rubbing chicken
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts - cut in half lengthwise or 4 small, thinner breasts
BLACKENING RUB
1 Tbsp each - paprika & sugar
4 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp each - onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt
1 tsp each - cayenne or to taste & oregano
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, mix all spices and pour into a large baggie, or pour onto a large plate.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. I then heat up my iron skillet for about 10 minutes or until smoking. Drizzle chicken pieces with olive oil, using hands evenly coat each piece. Either place the chicken in the baggie and shake, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Or, place seasoning on a plate and press each breast into seasoning, to evenly coat. Once pan is hot, drizzle with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Place each chicken breast in pan and saute for 5 minutes on one side then flip and cook another 5 minutes. Place skillet in oven and continue cooking until juices run clear. ( this will help keep kitchen from becoming so smoky )
  • 3. In meantime, make Alfredo sauce and have your pasta cooking. In a large skillet, add butter and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, stir in the cream, salt and pepper. Simmer 1 minute, then stir in the cheeses and heat until melted. Continue simmering until desired thickness, stirring constantly. Stir in nutmeg. Sauce will thicken more as it cools. If needs thinned out, just add a bit more cream or milk.
  • 4. Remove chicken from oven and let rest for about 4 minutes. Drain pasta and plate. Slice each breast on a diagonal and place atop fettuccine, ladle desired amount of sauce, sprinkle with more Parmesan if desired. Salt and pepper if desired.
  • 5. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Pasta: Fettuccine is a great choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of pasta, such as penne or linguine.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will help it hold up better in the sauce.
  • Blacken the Chicken Properly: To get the best flavor, make sure you blacken the chicken over high heat. This will create a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Use a Good Quality Alfredo Sauce: You can make your own alfredo sauce or use a store-bought variety. If you are using a store-bought sauce, look for one that is made with real cream and cheese.
  • Add Vegetables: If you want to add some vegetables to this dish, you can sauté some broccoli, asparagus, or zucchini in a little olive oil and add them to the sauce.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
