# Ingredients:

→ Crispy Chicken

01 - 2 large chicken breasts, butterflied and halved
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 2 large eggs, beaten
04 - 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
05 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon paprika
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
09 - Oil, for frying

→ Alfredo Sauce and Pasta

10 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1 ½ cups heavy cream
13 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
14 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
15 - 12 oz fettuccine pasta, cooked and drained

# Instructions:

01 - Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each piece in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the panko and Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
02 - Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
03 - Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes.
04 - Add grated Parmesan cheese to the simmering cream and stir until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
05 - Add the cooked and drained fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat the noodles evenly.
06 - Slice the crispy chicken cutlets and arrange on top of the sauced fettuccine. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For additional depth, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before incorporating the cream.
