I went to Corbin's Grill last week for dinner, and I had this. It was so good I decided to try to replicate. It came out great and very fast.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Enjoy this blackened chicken with tortellini Alfredo any night of the week. It's an easy dinner your entire family will enjoy. The Cajun seasoning used to coat the chicken breasts adds a kick of spice, but not overpowering. Using Boursin cheese in the Alfredo sauce adds tons of flavor. The herbs are a nice complement to the savory Parmesan cheese. We enjoyed cheese tortellini rather than plain pasta. It added a little more heartiness to the dish. Serve with garlic bread and a salad for a quick and easy restaurant-quality meal.

How To Make blackened chicken with tortellini alfredo

Step 1

Cook tortellini according to instructions. Drain, set aside.

Step 2

Slice chicken breasts horizontally so that you have 4 even pieces of chicken. Dry with a paper towel.
Step 3

Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, coating thoroughly.
Step 4

Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat till almost smoking. Cook chicken until very dark on first side, flip and cook till dark. Turn down the oven to medium-low and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Remove from the pan, set aside.
Step 5

Add a little more oil if needed, to the skillet. Add green and red peppers and onions to the pan. Turn the heat back up to medium-high and cook for 4-5 minutes just until they are not raw.
Step 6

Add Boursin cheese, 1 cup heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Turn down the heat again and stir until the cheeses melt. If the sauce is a little too thick, add the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream, a little at a time, until desired consistency.
Step 7

Cut up chicken into bite-size pieces and add to the sauce.
Step 8

Add prepared tortellini to the skillet.
Step 9

Sit until coated and serve.
