Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for coating)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese
8 ounces spaghetti
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Pound chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat in a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4. Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
5. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a low simmer.
6. Add Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
7. Toss spaghetti with the sauce until evenly coated.
8. Plate the pasta, top with crispy chicken, drizzle with more sauce, and garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use pre-sliced chicken cutlets to save prep time.
Add a splash of pasta water to the sauce if it thickens too much before serving.
For a lighter option, pan-sear the chicken without breading and reduce the cheese blend slightly.
