Ingrédients

1/2 lb pasta

2 thin chicken breasts

1 cup flour

1 cup breadcrumbs

2 eggs

2 cups neutral oil

4 tbsp butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus more for topping

Salt

Pepper

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Parsley

Pasta water

Instructions

Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.

Add the flour to one shallow dish and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the breadcrumbs to a second dish and the beaten eggs to a third.

Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.

Heat the oil in a pan. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and parsley. Add the heavy cream and lower the heat. Stir in the cheddar, Parmesan and mozzarella until melted and creamy.

Spoon some of the cheese sauce over each piece of chicken and top with additional mozzarella. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Add the cooked pasta to the remaining cheese sauce along with a splash of pasta water and a little more Parmesan. Toss until creamy and well coated. Serve with the cheesy chicken and enjoy! https://substack.com/home/post/p-213002920
