Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless chicken breasts, cut in half
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup chopped scallion
1 cup button mushroom
1 pint heavy cream or 1 pint light cream
4 teaspoons butter
2 -4 ounces grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
cajun spices, to coat chicken
1 lb penne pasta

  • Stir constantly over medium heat for 2"-4" minutes.
  • Sauce will thicken; add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss with Penne Pasta and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect blackened chicken, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat. The high heat will create a flavorful crust on the outside of the chicken, while the cast iron skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly and will likely end up steamed instead of blackened.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Blackened chicken should be cooked just until it is cooked through, but not so long that it becomes dry and tough.
  • For the Alfredo sauce, use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The better the cheese, the better the sauce will be.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less rich.
  • To make the tortellini, you can use either fresh or frozen tortellini. If you are using frozen tortellini, be sure to cook it according to the package directions.
  • Serve the blackened chicken with the Alfredo sauce and tortellini immediately. The chicken will be most flavorful when it is hot and fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Blackened chicken with tortellini Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The blackened chicken is flavorful and juicy, while the Alfredo sauce is rich and creamy. The tortellini adds a touch of heartiness to the dish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
