Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese for sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Coat the Chicken: Set up a breading station with beaten eggs, a mixture of breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cook the Pasta: Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Combine: Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce until well coated. Slice the baked chicken and serve it on top of the pasta.
- Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
