Cajun Chicken Alfredo

We were watching an episode of the Best Thing I Ever Made on the Food Network.  Guy Fieri made cajun chicken alfredo.  I knew I had to try it!  I made it last night and it was delicious!!

Blackening Seasoning

1 Tbsp granulated garlic

1 Tbsp black pepper

1/2 Tbsp salt

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp cayenne pepper - more or less to taste depending on how spicy you want it (I used just a dash)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Combine all above spices in a bowl and mix until well combined.

Cajun Chicken Alfredo

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 recipe blackening seasoning

4 oz uncooked pasta (linguine, spaghetti, etc)

4-6 sundried tomatoes, sliced

Jar of your favorite alfredo sauce (I used Classico Light Parmesean Alfredo and it was awesome!!)

1. Heat oven-safe pan (I used a cast iron pan) until very hot.  Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Coat chicken with blackening seasoning.   Add oil or cooking spray to pan, and put chicken in pan.  Cook about 3 minutes per side over medium-high heat.  Place pan into preheated oven.  Allow chicken to cook about 10 minutes or until internal temp of 165F.  Remove from oven and allow to rest approx 3 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain.

4. Heat alfredo sauce (I used the microwave).

4. Slice chicken breasts.  Mix pasta, alfredo sauce, sundried tomatoes.  Add chicken over top and serve.

YUM!  Enjoy
