Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Pasta:

  • 12 oz fettuccine or spaghetti, cooked and drained

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg if desired. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  4. Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until well coated.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Plate the pasta with Alfredo sauce and place a crispy chicken breast on top. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the Alfredo sauce.
  • Feel free to customize the seasonings for the chicken breading to suit your taste preferences.
