Crispy Parmesan Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
\nServes: 4<\/p>\n
For the Chicken
\n4 small boneless chicken breasts, pounded to \u00bd-inch thickness
\n1 cup all-purpose flour
\n2 large eggs, beaten + 1 tbsp water
\n1 \u00bd cups panko breadcrumbs
\n\u00bd cup grated Parmesan cheese
\n1 tsp garlic powder
\n1 tsp Italian seasoning
\nSalt & black pepper, to taste
\n\u00bd cup vegetable oil, for frying
\n1 cup shredded mozzarella, for topping
\n2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
\nFor the Fettuccine Alfredo
\n12 oz fettuccine pasta
\n2 tbsp unsalted butter
\n2 cloves garlic, minced
\n1 \u00bd cups heavy cream
\n1 \u00bc cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
\n\u00bc tsp nutmeg (optional, classic in Alfredo)
\nSalt & white pepper, to taste
\nInstructions
\n1. Prep & Bread the Chicken<\/p>\n
Set up 3 shallow dishes: flour seasoned with salt\/pepper in one, beaten eggs in the second, panko + \u00bd cup Parmesan + garlic powder + Italian seasoning in the third.
\nDredge each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then panko mix. Press coating on firmly.
\nLet rest 10 min so coating sticks.
\n2. Cook the Pasta<\/p>\n
Boil fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
\n3. Fry the Chicken<\/p>\n
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken 3-4 min per side until golden and 165\u00b0F inside.
\nTransfer to a wire rack. Immediately top hot chicken with shredded mozzarella so it melts. Keep warm.
\n4. Make the Alfredo Sauce<\/p>\n
In the same pot, melt butter on medium. Add garlic, cook 30 sec until fragrant.
\nPour in heavy cream, simmer 3-4 min until slightly thickened.
\nReduce heat to low. Whisk in Parmesan gradually until smooth. Add nutmeg, salt, and white pepper.
\nToss in cooked fettuccine. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water 1 tbsp at a time.
\n5. Plate It Like the Photo<\/p>\n
Twirl a generous bed of fettuccine alfredo on a plate.
\nSlice chicken breasts into \u00be-inch strips. Fan slices over the pasta.
\nSpoon a little extra alfredo over the chicken to help the cheese melt more.
\nGarnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.
\nKey Tips for That Restaurant Look
\nPound the chicken thin: Cooks fast and stays juicy, plus you get more surface area for crispy coating.
\nPanko + Parmesan: Panko gives the extra-crispy texture you see in the photo. Regular breadcrumbs won\u2019t look the same.
\nFreshly grate your Parmesan: Pre-shredded won\u2019t melt smooth in the alfredo \u2014 you\u2019ll get a grainy sauce.
\nMelt cheese on hot chicken: Don\u2019t broil it after, or you\u2019ll lose the crispiness. Let residual heat do the work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
