My Version: Carino's Spicy Romano Chicken image

My favorite restaurant in the world is Johnny Carino's (a.k.a Carino's Italian Grill) and my favorite recipe is their Spicy Romano Chicken. Well I've tried other recipes that I thought were close but I recently tried a recipe by Guy Fieri and after a few changes I think I've come up with a pretty close alternative. I will make one change when I make it again : I will skip slicing the chicken and just put one breast on each plate. I hope this recipe is enjoyed. I must add that I give Guy all the praise for this recipe :-)

Time 1h

Yield 2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 skinless chicken breasts
1 cup blackening seasoning
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups mushrooms, chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh garlic cloves
1 cup roughly chopped marinated sun-dried tomato (or fresh)
1/4 cup white wine or 1/4 cup chicken stock
1 quart heavy cream (or half n half)
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated romano cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts
1 lb cooked bow tie pasta
1/2 cup scallion

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Dredge the chicken breasts in blackening spice and place in a cast iron skillet over very high heat. Blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until juices run clear. Slice in strips and set aside.
  • In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add mushrooms,garlic and cook until mushrooms have released most of their liquid. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices. Pour the white wine or chicken stock in the pan and scrape pan. Add the heavy cream, increase the heat to a simmer, and reduce the cream sauce by half.
  • When the cream sauce is to desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 cup romano cheese, salt and pepper. Before serving open your artichoke hearts and slice in half. Drain well and put in pan, let cook til warm. I used the ready to serve artichoke hearts.
  • Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

This recipe was a total fail. The chicken was tough, and the sauce was bland. I don't recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili pepper next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely make this again, but I'll be sure to cook the chicken a little less.

I've made this dish several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce is creamy and flavorful and has just the right amount of heat.

This recipe is a winner! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and cheesy, with a nice kick of heat. I served it over pasta, and it was a hit with the whole family.
