Ingredients

For the Chicken-

  • 3 6-8 Oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Tbsp Blackening Seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

For the Alfredo-

  • 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 3 Large Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 3 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 4 Oz Cream Cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1 Cup Grated Parmesan + more for topping
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Blackening Seasoning
  • 1 Lb Linguine Pasta
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped +more for topping

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Season with the blackening seasoning, be generous.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side (cooking time will depend on thickness of chicken). When the chicken is cooked (should have an internal temp of 165), remove the chicken to a cutting board.
  • Now you’re going to start the alfredo sauce. While the alfredo is cooking, also cook your linguine according to package directions.
  • Without wiping out the skillet, melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the heavy cream. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until it has reduced slightly, stir occasionally. Then add the softened cream cheese, stirring frequently until the cream cheese is melted and smooth.
  • Add the parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and blackening seasoning. Stir until combined. Lower heat to low and let the alfredo develop flavor while the pasta finishes cooking.
  • When the linguine is done, use tongs and remove it directly from the water and into the alfredo. If your alfredo is too thick, loosen a little with a ladle or two of the starchy pasta water.
  • Add the fresh chopped parsley, toss, and remove from heat.
  • Divide the pasta between bowls. Slice up that beautiful blackened chicken and lay over the linguine. Top with a little extra grated parmesan and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
