CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 Tbsp salt. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water then drain, cover, and keep warm.
• Beat the chicken breasts so that they are even in thickness and season all over with 1½ Tbsp cajun seasoning.
• In a large non-reactive skillet*, heat 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear on both sides. Turn heat down to low and saute until cooked through and 165˚F on a thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into thin strips, and cover to keep warm.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, saute the butter and garlic for 30-60 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and saute another 2 minutes.
• Add in the heavy whipping cream, remaining cajun seasoning, and parmesan cheese, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste if needed.
• Add the sliced chicken and cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until combined and pasta and chicken are warmed through. Add warm reserved pasta water if desired to thin the sauce. Serve with freshly grated parmesan and chopped parsley.

CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Working in batches, add chicken pieces to bag and shake to coat. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess flour. Place coated chicken on a large wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Working in batches, add chicken, skin-side down, to pot and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn, and continue frying until golden brown on bottom side, 8 to 10 minutes.

• Let stand for an additional five minutes.
• Watching for boil over add chicken 3 to 4 pieces at a time, cooking breasts with thighs, legs with wings.
• There should be no more than four pieces of chicken cooking at a time, chicken should be covered with hot oil by the time the fourth piece is added.
• Cook for 7 minutes, turn.

• Repeat cooking process with remaining chicken.
• Repeat dusting of both sides of cooked chicken when second batch is complete.
• Note: I have made this recipe three times. The last time I had huge thighs and breasts to cook so I did those two at a time, which made for 3 rounds of frying. I also added 2 minutes to total cooking time. I pull the wings 2-3 minutes before the legs. Expect very brown fried chicked with a nice kick!
