Ingredients:
For the Crispy Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crispiness)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
For the Creamy Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine or your preferred pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crispy Chicken:
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In one shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
