Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 thinly sliced chicken breasts (cutlets)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1 cup)
  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken cutlets by seasoning them with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with a mixture of panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in the egg, and then coat with the panko mixture.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. In a large pot, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  6. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
  7. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the reserved pasta cooking water and Parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth.
  8. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the fettuccine Alfredo topped with crispy chicken cutlets.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken cutlets in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli or peas to the pasta for added nutrition.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time; just reheat the pasta and chicken before serving.
