8 oz fettuccine or your choice of pasta
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish
Cook pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise; season with salt and pepper.
Dredge chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens.
Toss cooked pasta in the creamy sauce.
Serve pasta topped with crispy chicken and garnish with parsley.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Use panko for extra crunch.
