Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add heavy cream, butter, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
- Slice the baked chicken and place it on top of the fettuccine Alfredo. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
To make the dish lighter, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based milk.
If the sauce thickens too much after refrigerating, add a splash of milk or cream when reheating.
