Crispy Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

2 large chicken breasts, sliced into fillets

1 cup breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for frying

For the Alfredo Sauce:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1½ cups heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Pasta:

8 ounces fettuccine or linguine pasta

Fresh chives, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pasta:

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Bread and Cook the Chicken:

Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

Coat the chicken fillets in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.

Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through (3–4 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate.

3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Add Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

4. Combine and Serve:

Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until well coated.

Serve the pasta on a plate, top with crispy chicken slices, and garnish with fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately.
