Johnny Carinos Five Cheese Chicken Fettuccine Recipes

JOHNNY CARINO'S FIVE-CHEESE CHICKEN FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• In a warm skillet, combine the Alfredo sauce, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic and chicken. Cook over low heat stirring until the sauce begins to boil and the chicken is heated through.
• As the sauce continues to boil, begin to mix in the cheeses until a dense smooth sauce is formed.
• Remove from the heat, add the pasta, toss and serve.

JOHNNY CARINOS BOWTIE FESTIVAL

Steps:

• In a heated sauté pan, combine butter, garlic, onions, bacon, tomatoes, chicken, and spice mixture. When onions begin to turn translucent, add heavy cream and Asiago cheese. Once cheese and cream have reduced by half, add Alfredo sauce and bowtie pasta. Toss until well combined and remove from fire. Allow pasta to cool for a few minutes so the cheese and sauce can thicken.

• In a warm saute pan, melt butter.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKEN PASTA (LIKE CARINO'S)

Steps:

• Season and grill the chicken breasts until done. Cool and slice into bite sized pieces.
• Add butter to a large sauté pan on medium heat.
• Once butter is melted, add the shrimp, sliced chicken, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper.
• Saute mixture until shrimp and mushrooms are cooked.
• Add the cream, Romano cheese and cayenne pepper. Let cream reduce by half while stirring frequently.

JOHNNY CARINO'S GORGONZOLA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick season with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in a hot skillet with two tablespoons of oil over medium high heat. Cook on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until completely cooked. Remove chicken breasts from heat, and let rest for several minutes before slicing. You may need to add an additional tablespoon of butter or two to the sauce pan to saute the mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms on medium high heat until they are browned. While mushrooms are browning sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Cook pasta according to instructions on the package. Johnny Carino's typically uses penne pasta, but I like to use a fettuccine pasta because I think it holds the sauce better. Prepare sauce by combining half and half and Gorgonzola in a saucepan heating through. The sauce should thicken slightly. Slice chicken into 1/4 inch slices. Add sauteed mushrooms to the sauce, and stir to combine well. Plate pasta by adding 1/4 of the pasta, 1/4 of the chicken slices. Drizzle with sauce, and top with chopped tomatoes and shredded Parmesan.
• If you need to reheat this dish, I recommend leaving all of this unassembled and reassemble just before serving again. If you do not combine the pasta sauce and pasta together while this is refrigerated the sauce won't soak into the pasta.
