Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons olive oil

250g fettuccine pasta

2 tablespoons butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

    Breading Process: Set up a breading station: place flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once fried, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

        Boil the Pasta: While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

          Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

            Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Plate the creamy pasta on a large serving dish. Slice the crispy chicken breasts and lay them on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
