Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta or your favorite
- 2 chicken breasts butterflied into 4 pieces
- 2 teaspoons blackened seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the pasta:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 15 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes drained*
- 1 cup chicken broth or stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese more for serving
- parsley for serving
Instructions
Cook the pasta:
- Bring water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package directions. Once ready, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain, and set the pasta aside.
Prep the chicken:
- On a flat surface, pat dry the chicken breasts. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally through the middle.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with the blackened seasoning.
Cook the chicken:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the chicken breasts on the pan, and let them cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts over, and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. *If using whole chicken breasts, the cooking time will vary to 7 to 8 minutes per side until the internal temperature has reached 165F.
- Remove the chicken from the pan onto a plate and leave any tidbits on the pan for extra flavor when making the sauce next.
Make the dish:
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan and melt it while scraping the tidbits with a spatula. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Add the garlic, diced tomatoes, and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and tomato paste and combine to mix the tomato paste into the thick mixture. Add ½ cup of reserved pasta water and the parmesan cheese and combine into the sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta and stir to combine with the sauce. If it’s too thick, slowly add additional reserved pasta water to thin it out to a consistency of your liking.
- Slice the chicken breasts and toss them into the pasta.
- Sprinkle parsley over the top (if using) and additional parmesan cheese when serving.
Notes
- *Substitute fire-roasted tomatoes for regular or Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes.
