Cajun Chicken Riesling Alfredo
- 1/4 cup Old York Cellars Riesling
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup blackening spice
- 2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsps minced garlic
- 1 cup roughly chopped marinated sun-dried tomatoes
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb cooked fettuccine
- 1/2 cup sliced scallions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the blackening spice and place in a cast iron skillet over very high heat. Blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slice in strips on the bias and set aside.
In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and lightly caramelize. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices. Deglaze the pan with the Old York Cellars Riesling 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.
Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
Cheers & Enjoy with your favorite glass of Old York Cellars Wine!
