Crispy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Perfectly crispy panko-breaded chicken served over fettuccine pasta tossed in a rich, creamy homemade Alfredo sauce — a classic comfort dish made easy.
Ingredients
- 4–6 thin chicken cutlets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1½ tsp garlic powder
- 1½ tsp onion powder
- 1½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 1 lb fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup pasta water before draining.
- Set up breading station with flour, eggs, and breadcrumb mixture (panko, Parmesan, seasonings).
- Coat chicken cutlets in flour → egg → breadcrumbs. Place aside.
- Heat oil in skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on rack.
- For the Alfredo: melt butter in a skillet, sauté garlic 10 sec, add cream and simmer 2 min. Gradually whisk in Parmesan until smooth.
- Toss pasta in sauce, add splash of pasta water to loosen. Season with salt & pepper.
- Slice chicken and serve on top of pasta. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.
Notes
- Keep oil hot for maximum crispiness — 350°F (175°C) is ideal.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best sauce texture.
- Serve chicken on top, not mixed in, to preserve crunch.
