Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the blackening seasoning and olive oil to form a paste. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking the Pasta
- 2
Cook the Fettuccine
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.
Cooking the Chicken

Blacken the Chicken
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice blackened crust. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Making the Alfredo Sauce
- 4
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
