Ingredients

Scale

For the Crispy Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

For the Alfredo Sauce

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta (cooked according to package instructions)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crispy Chicken:
    • Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
    • Bread the Chicken: Place flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese into three separate shallow bowls. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in eggs, and coat it in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.
    • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side, or until crispy, golden, and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest.
  • Make the Alfredo Sauce:
    • Prepare the Base: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
    • Simmer the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Dish:
    • Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
    • Slice the Chicken: Slice the crispy chicken into strips or leave whole, as desired.
  • Serve:
    • Plate the Dish: Divide the creamy fettuccine among plates and top with crispy chicken.
    • Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should be 165°F) before serving.
  • You can use store-bought or homemade breadcrumbs for the crispy chicken coating.
  • Add a little extra heavy cream or milk to the sauce if it thickens too much.
