Boil the Pasta:

Cook penne in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.

Bread the Chicken:

Season flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs with salt & pepper.

Mix grated Parmesan and parsley into the breadcrumb bowl.

Dredge chicken in flour, dip in eggs, then coat in breadcrumb mixture.

Fry the Cutlets:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Rest on paper towels.

Make the Sauce:

In a separate pan, melt butter and sauté garlic and shallots until soft and fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer.

Add lemon juice, pecorino, and shaved Parmesan. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water if needed.

Bring It Together:

Toss cooked penne in the sauce until coated and glossy.

Serve:

Slice chicken cutlets and serve on top of the pasta. Garnish with extra shaved Parmesan and parsley.
