Craving Popeye's fried chicken? Whip up a batch in your own kitchen to enjoy that delectable flavor without stepping out of your cozy home. 🍗

📋 Ingredients List:

🌾 3 cups self-rising flour
🌽 1 cup cornstarch
🧂 3 tablespoons seasoned salt
🌶️ 2 tablespoons paprika
🥄 1 teaspoon baking soda
🥗 1 package dry Italian salad dressing mix
🧅 1 package (1.5 ounce size) dry onion soup mix
🍅 1 package (.5 ounce size) spaghetti sauce mix
🍚 3 tablespoons sugar
🌶️ 1 tablespoon cayenne, or to taste
🌽 3 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
🥚 2 eggs, well beaten
💧 1/4 cup cold water
🐔 4 pounds chicken, cut up

📝 Instructions:

1️⃣ 🍳 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil to 365 degrees F in a deep skillet or deep fryer. Grease a 9x12 baking dish.
2️⃣ 🥣 In a large, shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, seasoned salt, paprika, baking soda, salad dressing mix, soup mix, spaghetti sauce mix, sugar, and cayenne. Mix well.
3️⃣ 🌾 Place the cornflakes in another bowl.
4️⃣ 🥚 In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water.
5️⃣ 🐔 Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture letting any excess liquid drip off. Lastly, dip it in the cornflakes, pressing gently so the cereal adheres.
6️⃣ 🍗 Dip lightly again in the flour mixture. Place the chicken pieces in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook the other side until browned. Do this in batches so as not to crowd the chicken.
7️⃣ 🥘 Place the fried chicken in the baking dish in a single layer. Cover loosely with foil so steam can escape.
8️⃣ 🍽️ Place the chicken in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes to crisp the coating. Serve Popeye's fried chicken hot.

💡 Notes:

For an extra spicy kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the flour mixture to taste. 🌶️
Using a wire rack over a baking sheet instead of a baking dish for the oven phase can help the chicken stay crispy on all sides. 🍳

This Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo dish features a rich and creamy Cajun Parmesan sauce that generously coats succulent pan-fried chicken and shrimp. It pairs wonderfully with fettuccine or your preferred type of pasta! 🍴

📋 Ingredients List:

🍤 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
🍤 12 large shrimp (thawed if frozen)
🧈 1 tablespoon olive oil
🧈 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
🧂 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (divided)
🥛 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
🥛 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
🧀 1/2 block cream cheese (very soft)
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🧀 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

📝Instructions:

1️⃣ 🍤 Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
2️⃣ 🍤 If the shrimp are frozen, thaw them under cool running water. Peel them (leave tails on if you want). Pat shrimp dry. Cut the chicken into 1" pieces. Sprinkle the shrimp and chicken with the garlic powder and 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
3️⃣ 🍳 Add the oil to a deep skillet over medium-high heat, and once the pan is hot, cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes (flip once), then transfer them to a plate.
4️⃣ 🍳 Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through, stirring occasionally (let it brown a bit). Transfer it to the same plate as the shrimp.
5️⃣ 🧈 Take the skillet off the heat and add in the butter, cream, cream cheese, remaining 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, and garlic. Return the pan to the stove (reduce heat to medium), and stir for a couple of minutes until the cream cheese has dissolved in the sauce.
6️⃣ 🧀 Let the sauce bubble gently for about 2-3 minutes, or until it's slightly thickened.
7️⃣ 🧀 Stir in the parmesan and then add the shrimp and chicken back to the pan. Let it warm through for a couple minutes. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
8️⃣ 🍝 I like to add a splash of hot pasta water (a tablespoon or two) to the skillet prior to draining the fettuccine to thin the sauce a little (optional). Toss the drained pasta with the sauce and serve immediately. I like to add a little more grated parmesan and some chopped parsley. A squeeze of lemon is delicious too!

💡 Notes:

🧂 Cajun seasoning can be very salty, and the quantity required for this recipe can contain too much salt, so I encourage you to use a no-salt or low-sodium one.
🧀 There’s nothing like grating your own parmesan cheese. It’s tastier and melts better. I always keep a block in my fridge.
