- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions crispy chicken:
- Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for later if needed.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the crispy chicken. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, ΒΎ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Take each chicken breast and first dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring itβs fully coated. Then, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture until completely covered.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts, frying for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic, being careful not to let it burn.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the remaining ΒΌ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta into the creamy sauce, tossing until all the pasta is evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can incorporate a little bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- To serve, plate the creamy pasta first, then top it with the crispy chicken. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
