Absolutely delicious.  I am not a fan of Cajun food and I’m not crazy about any dish that is too spicy.  But this is not at all like that.  This is restaurant quality dish with tender bites of chicken in a creamy incredible thick sauce with just a touch of seasoning to give it the right blend.  You will love this recipe! 

 

Blackened Chicken Alfredo

 

1 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

3 cloves garlic, chopped

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon Zatarain’s blackened seasoning

2 cups heavy whipping cream

4 cups penne pasta, cooked and drained well

1 cup Parmesan cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese 

¼ cup fresh parsley

 

Lay out chicken breasts on a plate and brush with melted butter.  Then season to taste with salt, pepper, and blackened seasoning. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melt butter and olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add seasoned chicken to skillet and fry 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate.

In the same skillet, add garlic and cook, stirring constantly until it just starts to brown. Watch it as garlic burns easily.  Add the cream, and stir until it begins to thicken.
