Blackened Chicken Fettucine Alfredo
From Jane Maynard, ThisWeekforDinner.com


- 9-oz package fresh fettuccine
- 1 jar Newman’s Own Alfredo Pasta Sauce
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Lightly spray a 9×13 baking pan or dish with cooking oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350
degrees.
Pound the chicken breast until quite thin (around 1/4″ thick). Mix all of the spice
ingredients together thoroughly. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the spices.

Heat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium high heat. Place chicken breasts in pan
and brown both sides, 45-60 seconds per side. Place chicken in prepared baking pan and
bake in oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and slice chicken into strips.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return pasta to warm pot over
medium-low heat. Pour in alfredo sauce and mix thoroughly.
Serve pasta with sliced chicken served on top. Serves 4.
