8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine work great)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
1️⃣ Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
3️⃣ Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1-2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Let it cook until the sauce thickens.
5️⃣ Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce and toss to coat evenly.
6️⃣ Serve: Plate the creamy pasta and top with crispy chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
