Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prep Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a three-step breading station: Place the flour mixed with salt and pepper in one plate, beaten eggs in a second, and breadcrumbs in a third.

  3. 3

    Coat Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Making the Alfredo Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Cheese

    Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 8

    Cook Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Combining and Serving

  1. 9

    Combine Chicken and Pasta

    In a large bowl, toss the cooked fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce until well coated. Slice the fried chicken and place it on top of the pasta.

  2. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
