Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for Alfredo sauce)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta, cooked
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Set up a breading station: In one dish, place flour; in a second, beat the eggs; in a third, mix breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry schnitzels 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve schnitzel on top of the Alfredo pasta, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce or serve with a side of steamed broccoli.
