This blackened chicken Alfredo is one of our favorite dishes. The contrast between the heat of the blackening seasoning and the creamy cheese sauce is fantastic. It takes almost no time at all to make. Use fresh pasta for the best tasting blackened chicken Alfredo.
Here Comes The Smoke!
Oh, and you’ll want to crack open a few windows when you make the blackened chicken on the stovetop. Blackening requires very high heat (cast iron skillets work best!) and generates a lot of smoke. It’s worth it but can set off the smoke detectors. Oh, and crank up the exhaust fan above your stove top, too. Every little bit helps.
