My Version Of Blackened Chicken Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the penne, then drain and set aside.
• Place olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add chicken; cook until cooked through, turning chicken halfway through. Remove from pan and slice into bite-sized pieces. Return chicken pieces to pan with mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions and minced garlic. Saute together while tossing occasionally for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, Creole seasoning and noodles to chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring frequently to heat noodles and melt cheese. Taste and add more Creole seasoning until it's just right. If you are brave enough to toss all the ingredients in the pan, do it! We love to catch the flame just right and it creates a wonderful show for the guests to watch.

Steps:

• 1. Cook pasta al dente, drain and set aside.
• 2. Coat chicken with olive oil. Then generously coat with cajun seasoning. Heat up iron skillet medium high heat. When hot add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to pan. When it's almost smoking add chicken. Cook on one side until the chicken is black then flip and cook until black as well. Once chicken is blackened turn heat down to medium low and continue to cook until done. About 5-10 minutes depending on how thick your chicken breast are. Let rest while cooking sauce. Slice before serving on top of pasta.
• 3. In a sauce pan melt your butter. Add garlic and cook for about 1 min. Once you really start smelling that garlic it's done. Don't burn the garlic it taste bad. Now add the flour and mix well cooking for another minute or so. Add your chicken broth and heavy cream. Cook until sauce boils and thickens stirring frequently. Add cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until cheese is melted. Add pasta and let simmer for a few minutes to finish cooking that pasta and this lets the sauce adhere better to the pasta.

• In the meantime while the sauce is simmering start the noodles. Drain. Set aside,adding a little of sauce so the noodles don't stick.
• Chicken:.
• While the sauce is simmering, preheat skillet on medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with zataran's blackened seasoning.

• Coat chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and season with blackened seasoning.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• At the same time, add farfalle to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• While the farfalle is cooking, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus tips and sun-dried tomatoes; saute until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cover until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir to combine and transfer to a bowl. Wipe the skillet clean.
