Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 oz. fettuccine noodles
- 1.25 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs whisked
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1.25 cups grated parmesan cheese divided
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- To prepare the chicken, slice each breast in half horizontally, creating thin chicken breasts. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Mix to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Dredge each piece of chicken into the flour. Then dip it into the eggs. Finally, dredge the chicken through the panko mixture.
- Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is fragrant, fry each piece of chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. The internal temperature should be 165ºF. Set aside.
- Make the alfredo sauce. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Next, add the remaining parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally to melt the parmesan cheese.
- Add the noodles to the alfredo sauce and toss to combine.
- Slice the chicken into ½ inch pieces and top the pasta. Serve immediately.
