Blackened Chicken Alfredo
This Blackened Chicken Alfredo is the NUMBER 1 pasta recipe on this entire website!! Just the best EVER! It is so creamy, flavorful and decadent. It’s perfect for any special meal! Feels so fancy, but it is REALLY quite simple!
Recently, a reader recommended ZATARAIN’s Blackened Seasoning to me. My family loves blackened chicken, but I had never made it at home. I decided the first recipe I would try out would be Blackened Chicken Alfredo, using my homemade Alfredo Sauce.
Please please please don’t buy jarred Alfredo sauce. It is AWFUL and I promise you homemade Alfredo sauce is SO EASY! Like THE EASIEST THING EVER to make! Once you try it, you will NEVER go back to the jarred stuff!
Oh my word did this Blackened Chicken Alfredo turn out incredible! This is one we will definitely be making again and again. I look forward to trying lots of new recipes with this seasoning!

Warning:
Blackening chicken causes a LOT of smoke, it’s just the nature of the beast. So beware! I usually open every window and use fans LOL. The best way around it, I have found is using a cast iron skillet on the grill outside. So if you are sensitive to smoke or the smell, use caution blackening anything inside! It’s worth every bit of smoke and trouble though, because it is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!
