Categories     Chicken Pasta

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
½ teaspoon blackened seasoning, or to taste
3 cups mini farfalle pasta
¾ cup fresh asparagus tips
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach leaves
¼ cup butter
8 ounces heavy cream
1 teaspoon white cooking wine
1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • 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.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add cream and cooking wine and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese and garlic; stir until cheese is melted. Add asparagus mixture to the sauce and stir to combine.
  • Drain pasta, place in a serving bowl, and pour sauce over top. Slice chicken and place on top of pasta. Sprinkle additional Parmesan on top.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is ideal for searing the chicken. It retains heat evenly and creates a nice crust.
  • Blackening Spices: The blackening spice mix is what gives the chicken its signature flavor. Make sure to use a good quality blend or make your own using paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  • Sear the Chicken: Sear the chicken over high heat until it develops a nice crust. This will help lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can quickly become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, make the creamy garlic pasta sauce. Use a good quality heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Toss the Chicken and Pasta: Once the chicken and pasta are cooked, toss them together in the creamy garlic sauce until evenly coated.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the blackened chicken and creamy garlic pasta immediately garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This blackened chicken with creamy garlic pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, while the pasta is rich and creamy. The combination of the two is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
