Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken Pound the chicken breasts until even in thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge in flour, dip into eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
-
Fry the Chicken Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove and set on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
-
Boil the Pasta Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
Make the Alfredo Sauce In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add cream and bring to a light simmer. Stir in parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and stir until smooth.
-
Assemble the Dish Toss cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce. Slice the fried chicken and place it over the pasta. Garnish with parsley and more parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh parmesan for a smoother sauce and richer flavor.
- Fry the chicken in batches to keep the oil hot and the coating crispy.
- If you’d like a lighter version, use an air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes per side.
- Separate sauce and chicken when storing leftovers to keep the chicken crispy.
