- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup whole milk (or heavy cream)
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon jarred minced garlic (or garlic powder)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
For the chicken
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 oz each)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- ½ cup flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- Cooking oil (for frying)
For the bake
- ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped basil
Instructions
For the Sauce and Pasta
- In a large saucepan, boil water over medium-high heat and cook the fettuccine according to the package directions, then drain the pasta water using a colander.
- At the same time, cut the cream cheese into large cubes.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add in the butter and cream cheese cubes, stirring until melted. It will not be creamy yet.
- Add in the milk, Parmesan cheese, jarred minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 3 minutes or until thickened.
- Stir in the fettuccine and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Add a lid, turn off the heat. Set aside and keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the Chicken
- Gently pound the chicken breasts between two slices of plastic wrap until about 1/2 inch thick.
- Season the chicken with the salt and pepper.
- Gather 3 wide dishes and fill the first dish with the flour.
- Fill the second with the egg and whisk until beaten.
- Fill the third with the Panko bread crumbs. Set them side by side.
- Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour.
- Dip them in the beaten egg on both sides.
- Then coat them well in the Panko bread crumbs.
- Preheat the oil about ¼ inch deep in a large frying pan over medium heat or to 350 degrees in an electric skillet.
- Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Drain briefly on a wire rack over paper towel.
For the Bake
- If the pasta sauce is to dry or thick for your preference, add a little milk and stir to combine. Place the pasta with sauce into an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or on individual oven-safe dinner plates.
- Top the fettuccine Alfredo with the chicken.
- Top each piece of chicken with Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and basil.
- Bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Fettuccine noodles are the ideal choice for this recipe, but feel free to use any long-shaped pasta you prefer.
- For the best texture and consistency, always opt for whole milk or heavy cream.
- You can use Alfredo sauce from a jar instead. However, I guarantee that my homemade Alfredo recipe will elevate your taste buds to new heights.
- To store Chicken Parm Alfredo, put the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days. Freezing isn’t really the best idea if you want to keep the texture nice.
