Delicious Crispy Chicken Alfredo

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
   • Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a third.
   • Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, and coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
2. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
   • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if desired). If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
4. Assemble the Dish:
   • Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce and toss until the pasta is well-coated.
   • Slice the crispy chicken into strips and arrange it on top of the pasta.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, and enjoy the creamy, crispy goodness!

Tips for Perfection:

• If you prefer a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for the Alfredo sauce.
• For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumbs before frying.
• You can add vegetables like broccoli or spinach to the dish for added flavor and nutrition.
