Blackened Chicken Strips On Pasta W/Cajun Sauce
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1/4 c paprika
1 ts garlic powder
1 ts onion powder
1/8 ts pepper
1 ts dried fines herbes
4 chicken breast halves
-without skin,; boneless
1 clove garlic; minced
2 tb onion; minced
1 1/2 c chicken broth; defatted
1 tomato; peeled, seeded and
-minced
1/4 c dry white wine
1 tb fresh herbs; chopped (like:
-oregano, b
1 salt; to taste
8 oz penne pasta
Instructions
To make Cajun spice, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and
fines herbes. Set aside. Put the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax
paper and pound to flatten. Moisten breasts with water and rub with Cajun
spice (reserve 1/4 teaspoon for the sauce). Spray a very hot cast-iron pan
with vegetable spray and then quickly fry breasts for 4 to 6 minutes, or
until done. Remove breasts and slice into thin strips. Set aside. Saute
garlic and onion in a small pan that has been sprayed with vegetable spray,
until onion is soft. Add broth, tomato, wine, fresh herbs and 1/4 teaspoon
of the Cajun spice. Simmer for 8 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Meanwhile cook pasta, drain, and place on a platter. Lay chicken on pasta
and then drizzle with sauce.
NOTES : I made this recipe a couple of nights ago. For the first time in
20 years, my darling husband actually went bonkers over something I cooked!
The only thing I did different was that I cooked the sauce in the same pan
I cooked the chicken in, using the sauce to deglaze the pan. It was not too
spicy and didn't smoke up the house. I also used homemade pasta!
