Ingredients:

• 8 oz penne or fettuccine pasta
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Olive oil for frying
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions crispy chicken:

1. Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for later if needed.
2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the crispy chicken. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, ¾ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Take each chicken breast and first dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture until completely covered.
4. 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.
5. In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic, being careful not to let it burn.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. 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.
8. 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.
