Ingredients
- 1 cup blackened seasoning such as Zatarain's® Blackened Seasoning
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 cup marinated sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup parmesan grated, divided
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) package fettuccine cooked
- 1/2 cup scallions sliced, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add the blackened seasoning, then evenly dredge the chicken breasts in it.
- In a cast-iron skillet over high heat, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook, flipping once, until they are blackened on both sides.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook the blackened chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to a wire rack and place the cooked chicken breasts on a cutting board to cool slightly.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into even strips.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and the garlic and cook until it is fragrant.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices to the garlic mixture and stir to coat.
- Add the white wine to the chicken mixture, then use a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the heavy cream to the chicken mixture and increase the heat. Cook until it is simmering and the cream reduces by half.
- Add 1/2 cup of the parmesan, the salt, the pepper, and the cooked fettuccine to the chicken mixture and mix until it is well-coated.
- Serve the Alfredo topped with the remaining parmesan and the scallions.
