Backened Chicken Alfredo

This recipe is so quick and easy. I make a big batch of the rub and keep it in a small tupperware in the cupboard. I use a Foreman Grill for the chicken and dinner is served in about 15 minutes.

RUB INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

ALFREDO INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream

You will also need:
1-2 chicken breasts
Penne or Corkscrew pasta

DIRECTIONS

Get a pot of water boiling for pasta. Cook pasta according to directions. Sprinkle the rub onto one uncooked chicken breast. I use a lot. Grill the chicken. While the chicken is cooking combine alfredo ingredients and stir over medium-low heat until sauce is formed. Toss with penne pasta that is cooked and drained. I use a little more than half a bag of pasta. Once chicken is cooked serve over pasta that has been tossed with the sauce. I cut it horizontally into about six strips. We like this with garlic bread and if it is a good night, a salad.
