Recipe courtesy of Guy Fieri
I haven't made a lot of dishes using Guy Fieri recipes. He usually features other people's cooking on his shows. But this one sounded so good when I saw it on Guy's Big Bite I had to try it.
It turned out fantastic- an instant hit. It was very good reheated in the microwave the next day also.
You know a recipe is good when suddenly there is no talking at the dinner table and everyone is just eating and making yum yum sounds. When she finally came up for air, Irene said, "You can make this as often as you want."
That's what I like to hear!
Kosher salt
Four 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Paul Prudhomme's Chicken Spice Rub
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup roughly chopped marinated sun-dried tomatoes
1 pound fettuccine
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion, for garnish
Directions
1- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat.
2- Dredge the chicken breasts in the Blackening Spice Rub. Place in the cast-iron skillet. Blacken both sides of the chicken, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
3- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and place in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes.
4- Remove from the oven and slice the chicken into strips on the bias.
5- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and lightly brown it, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine. Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced by half. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and chicken slices.
6- Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine al dente, according to the package directions. Drain.
7- When the cream sauce is at the desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the sea salt, pepper and pasta.
8- To serve, toss the pasta with the cream sauce and serve on large rimmed plates. Garnish with the green onions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
Makes 4-6 servings.
