I’ve been cooking chicken alfredo following just the manual recipe at the back of some pasta. When I saw this chicken alfredo by Smokin’ & Grillin’ wit AB, I was basically drooling. Upgrade your typical alfredo recipe with this spiced-up recipe that’s bursting with delicious spices.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Boneless and skinless Chicken Breast
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb. Chicken Andouille Sausage
- 3 cups Heavy cream
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Creolo Seasonings
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb. Penne Pasta
- ½ cup Hot Water
- 8oz Parmesan Cheese, shredded
- Garlic powder to taste
- Kosher salt to taste
- Ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Prepare all the needed ingredients.
Drizzle some olive oil into a preheated skillet and begin searing the chicken breasts over medium heat.
Season the tops of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, flip it, and season the bottom part with the same seasonings. Let it cook for 5 minutes, remove it from the heat, and set it aside.
Slice 1 lb. of chicken andouille sausages thinly at a 45-degree angle. In a crockpot, place the chicken breasts and sliced Andouille sausages. Then, add 3 cups of heavy cream, 4 cups of chicken broth, 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of Creolo Seasonings, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. At that point, seal the pot with a lid and let it cook over a high heat for about 2 1/2 hours.
Carefully take the lid off and transfer the chicken breasts onto a platter. Stir in the remaining ingredients until incorporated and add in ½ cup hot water. Then, pour in the 1 lb. Stir in the penne pasta. Let the pasta cook on high heat for about 30 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, slice the chicken breasts as you prefer. Add in 80 oz of shredded parmesan cheese when the pasta is done cooking and stir. Gently place your sliced chicken back in the pot and stir to combine.
Let it sit for 15 minutes and sprinkle in some ground pepper.
Place the dish on a platter and enjoy!
