Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crispy Chicken

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three bowls:
    • Bowl 1: Flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    • Bowl 2: Beaten eggs.
    • Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Pasta Sauce

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In the same pan used for chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Pour in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the sauce is smooth.
  4. Add the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce slightly. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Combine & Serve

  1. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  2. Slice the crispy chicken and place it on top of the pasta.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve warm!

Tips for Success

  • Use Panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  • Pound the chicken for even cooking and tenderness.
  • Adjust the sauce consistency by adding more pasta water if needed.
