Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness
  • 2 tablespoons blackening seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 piece red bell pepper thinly sliced

For the Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

For the Pasta:

  • 1 package fettuccine 16-ounce, cooked and drained
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

Cooking Instructions:

  • Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides generously with the blackening seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.
  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add cream cheese and whisk until melted. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and thyme, cooking until sauce thickens.
  • Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. Fold in sliced blackened chicken and heat through.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
