Cajun "chicken" Alfredo

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

Amazing! Serve with Heirloom Tomato Salad, or a nice green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and some good, crusty bread.

"This was great! One suggestion, spray the cutlets with a little cooking spray just before dredging in blackening seasoning. It will help the seasoning adhere to the "chicken.""

Original recipe makes 4
1 packageQuorn naked chik'n cutlets
1/4 cupblackening spice
2 tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil; (or use oil from oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes)
3 tablespoonsgarlic; minced or pressed
1 cupoil-packed sun-dried tomatoes; roughly chopped (about a 6-ounce jar)
1/4 cupdry white wine; (such as a chardonnay or a sauvignon blanc)
3 cupsHeavy cream
3/4 cupParmesan cheese; grated
1 teaspoonSea salt
1 teaspoonBlack Pepper; freshly ground
1 poundcooked fettuccine; (or maybe a little less)
1/2 cupScallions; sliced

Cajun "chicken" Alfredo Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

LIghtly oil a baking sheet, and place frozen cutlets in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Dredge the cutlets in the blackening spice and place in a cast iron skillet over very high heat (this can create a bit of smoke). Blacken both sides of the cutlets and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Slice in strips on the bias and set aside.

In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil (or oil from oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes). Add garlic and lightly caramelize. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the cutlet slices. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the heavy cream, increase the heat to a simmer, and reduce the cream sauce by half.

When the cream sauce is to desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, and pasta (add the pasta a bit at a time, being careful not to add more pasta than you have sauce for).

Garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

I'm not familiar with blackening spice, so I just used cajun seasoning - perhaps they are the same thing? In any case, the flavor is fantastic!

This was great! One suggestion, spray the cutlets with a little cooking spray just before dredging in blackening seasoning. It will help the seasoning adhere to the 'chicken.'
