Directions:  
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, cut chicken breasts into thin strips and season with 2 teaspoons of blackening seasoning, if using homemade blackened seasoning sprinkle with kosher salt on either side lightly. In a large skillet (cast iron is preferred, but any skillet will do) add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Heat pan over medium high heat, once pan is very hot, sear chicken on both sides until no longer pink. Just a note- Proper blackening will smoke and smell like charred food. That’s the beautiful crust forming. No worries! Set chicken aside and cover with foil.

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil to same skillet. (there is no need to clean out the pan) Add the onion and saute 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute an additional minute. Add red and green bell peppers. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.Saute for 3-4 minutes, until peppers are slightly tender.

Add the half-and-half, basil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a simmer. Add the cooked linguine, tossing to allow the half and half to cook into the al dente pasta. Add the remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons of blackened seasoning. Adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings (about 1 1/2 cups each).
