Zesty Chicken Alfredo Recipes

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook thin spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add Alfredo sauce to the chicken along with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion, basil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne. Bring to a slight boil; stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook mixture until cheese is melted and you are able to lift a spoon out of the sauce without cheese hanging onto it, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Add broccoli to sauce.
• Drain cooked pasta. Scoop into individual serving bowls and pour sauce on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dredge the chicken breasts in the 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 internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slice in strips on the bias and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and lightly caramelize. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. 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, salt, pepper, and pasta.
• Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Cook the garlic, sausage, and chicken until garlic starts to brown and the chicken is no longer pink.
• Sprinkle over the Cajun seasoning and stir to evenly coat the sausage and chicken.
• Add the cream, and bring to a boil.
• Add the pasta, stirring until evenly mixed.
• To finish, add parmesan and parsley, stirring until cheese melts and pasta is coated with a thick sauce.
• Serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Rub chicken breasts with lemon oil, if using.
• Sprinkle both sides with lemon zest, pepper, and granulated garlic, and set aside for 15-minutes for flavor to develop.
• Start to heat salted water to cook the pasta, but don't cook it until you start to make the sauce.
• Spray a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick spray, add olive oil, and place over medium heat.
• When hot, add chicken, and cook until done, but still springy to the touch, and lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
• If using fresh mushrooms, add to pan, increase heat to high, and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Remove mushrooms from pan using a slotted spatula, leaving juice behind.
• If not using fresh mushrooms, drain all excess oil from pan, leaving browned bits in pan.
• Reduce heat to medium if necessary.
• Add pasta to boiling water.
• Add lemon juice to skillet, and deglaze the pan, scraping up all browned bits from cooking chicken.
• Add mustard and Alfredo sauce, and stir until combined.
• Simmer until heated through.
• Stir in chicken and mushrooms, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low until pasta is done.
• Serve sauce over pasta and chicken.
• Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
• Serves 4.
• Note!!!! Ingredient should be LEMON OIL, not extract. Recipezaar recipe software changed it to extract and will not let me make the correction. Sorry about that!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.
