Get ready for a deliciously creamy and crispy delight with this Ultimate Crispy Chicken Alfredo Pasta! 🍝✨
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breast fillets
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (for crust)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
- 200 g fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Directions:
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions (about 8–10 minutes) until it’s perfectly al dente. Don’t forget to save 1/2 cup of that starchy pasta water!
2. While your pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast fillets with salt and black pepper to taste. Dip each piece into beaten egg and then coat it with a yummy mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (you’ll want that internal temperature to reach 74°C/165°F). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it up.
4. In the same pan, melt the butter and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until it smells heavenly.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 3–4 minutes. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes silky smooth.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss everything together. If the sauce seems a bit too thick, use some of that reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
7. Time to plate! Dish out the pasta, place the sliced crispy chicken on top, and drizzle with any extra sauce you have.
8. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and, if you’re feeling indulgent, some extra Parmesan on top for that final touch!
Dig in and enjoy every creamy, crispy bite!
