Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
6 slices bacon
6 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 egg yolks
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup freshly grated Romano cheese
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more if desired
½ cup baby spinach leaves
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 roma (plum) tomato, diced

Steps:

  • Mix water, sugar, yeast, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for several seconds on low speed in the work bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stop the mixer and add the flour and salt. Start the mixer on low speed and mix until the flour mixture is incorporated with the yeast mixture; turn speed to medium-low and machine-knead the dough until springy and smooth, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle dough with flour occasionally if it sticks to the sides of the bowl.
  • Form dough into a ball and place into an oiled bowl; turn the dough over in the bowl several times to oil the surface of the dough. Cover the dough with a towel, set into a warm place, and allow to rise until double, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate and allow to cool; chop and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic in the melted butter until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the cream into the butter mixture. Add the egg yolks and whisk with the butter mixture until smooth. Stir 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, the Romano cheese, and nutmeg into the mixture; season to taste with salt. Bring the sauce just barely to a simmer over low heat; cook and stir at a simmer until cheeses have melted and sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, white pepper, and onion powder together in a bowl. Rub one side of each chicken breast thoroughly with the spice mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the chicken breasts, seasoned sides first, in the hot oil until the spices turn almost black, about 1 minute per side; transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes; set aside.
  • Punch down pizza dough and roll out onto a floured work surface. Shape pizza crust on a large pizza stone or heavy baking sheet. Poke several holes in the crust with a fork to help it release steam.
  • Bake the crust in the oven until top is very lightly cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and spread a layer of Alfredo sauce over the crust. Spread the mozzarella cheese in an even layer over the sauce. Slice the blackened chicken breasts and arrange over the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle pizza with spinach leaves and chopped bacon. Top with 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
  • Return pizza to oven and bake until the mozzarella cheese is melted and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle pizza with chopped Roma tomatoes to serve.

We love anything blackened and especially love this dish. The first time I made it, I thought they were going to lick their plates...LOL I took aspects of several recipes of mine to make this dish. My family couldn't be happier with it. Can easily double the sauce if feeding many. The chicken makes a killer sandwich and is...

Time 35m

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!

BLACKENED CHICKEN ALFREDO



Blackened Chicken Alfredo image

Besides getting great flavor of the Blackened Chicken, this is my kicked up version of an easy Alfredo Sauce. This sauce is quite rich tasting, so be sure to serve it with a side of a salad with a nice acidy dressing to help cut some of that richness.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 4 dinners, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
3 tablespoons cajun seasoning, Butt Kickin' Blacken, Original Recipe
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
alfredo sauce
1/2 lb dried linguine
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 large green bell pepper
1/2 large red bell pepper
1/2 large onion, minced
1 cup pinot grigio wine
1 cup heavy whipping cream, plus more as needed
1 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1 cup romano cheese
1/2 cup chopped parsley, Fresh
salt and white pepper, as needed
1 tablespoon butter, as needed
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil, as needed

Steps:

  • Begin by slicing the chicken in half to get 4 pieces out of the 2.
  • Ron's Note:.
  • I always keep my thumb out of the way of a knife, in this case it's actually holding the knife while I'm taking the picture with my other hand.
  • Mix the Blackening Rub, then rub it into the chicken.
  • Now it's time for the sauce:.
  • Start at least 6 cups salted water going in a fairly large pot. I found that the linguine actually soaked up a lot of water. Add the dried pasta to the water, after it comes to a boil.
  • While the pasta is cooking:.
  • Slice the Red and Green Peppers into 1/4" x 1" strips, mince the onion, and place all into a pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.Cook this over medium / high heat until they begin to get soft.
  • Add the wine, and turn the heat to high.
  • When most of the liquid from the wine has evaporated, add the heavy whipping cream, and turn the heat down to medium.
  • When the cream is hot, add the Parmesan Cheese, and turn the heat to low to wait for everything else to get done. If it thickens up too much, you can add a little more heavy whipping cream, or wine to thin it down a bit.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan holding the sauce, and mix it up to fully coat the pasta. Now add the chopped parsley, to give it that extra bit of color, and fresh flavor.
  • While the sauce is cooking, it's time to:.
  • Melt the butter in either a black frying pan, or a heavy bottomed stainless fry pan over a Medium high heat. When the butter's melted and the pan is pretty hot. add the chicken.
  • Ron's Note:.
  • I'm doing this at a friends house and am using an electric stove. I set the dial to #7 on a scale of 1 - 10 to get the proper temperature. You don't want to cook at too high a temp, or you'll end up burning the outside while leaving the inside still raw.
  • As you can see by this picture, I've got the pasta going in the back of the stove, the sauce in the front left, and the frying chicken on the right front burner.
  • When the chicken is cooked, 4 - 6 minutes on each side, set it on paper towels to absorb some of the butter, and fry the other 2 pieces of chicken.
  • When they're both done, slice them into strips and plate by setting the pasta on a plate, then setting the chicken on top.
  • Or, after cutting the chicken into strips, you could mix it right in with the Alfredo Sauce.
  • Serve with Garlic Bread and a Salad. The salad really helps to cut the richness of this meal.
