Cooking steps

Blackened Chicken Alfredo

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Flatten out some chicken breasts, then season with salt and blackening seasoning.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Add the seasoned chicken to a pan with olive oil and butter. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to form a blackened crust. Repeat on both sides and then set the chicken aside.

Step 3: Sauté Vegetables

In the same pan, add diced onions and bell peppers along with some butter and minced garlic. Cook until caramelized.

Step 4: Add Mustard and Chicken

Stir in a little bit of Dijon mustard, then toss in the diced cooked chicken from earlier.

Step 5: Add Cheese Sauce

Pour over the blended high-protein cheese sauce and let it sit.

Step 6: Cook Pasta

Meanwhile, cook 2 pounds of pasta, saving some pasta water (about a cup and a half).

Step 7: Combine Everything

Add the cooked pasta to the chicken mixture, then mix in chives and a little bit of mozzarella cheese.

Step 8: Serve

Enjoy your blackened chicken alfredo, which makes 15 servings that you can store for future meals!
