Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
8 oz spaghetti pasta
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup panko
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
2. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with a mix of breadcrumbs and panko.
3. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet. Fry chicken until golden and fully cooked. Set aside on a rack.
4. Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
5. In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in heavy cream. Add cream cheese and whisk until smooth.
6. Add parmesan and mozzarella. Stir until sauce is thick and smooth. Season with garlic and onion powder.
7. Toss cooked spaghetti in the cheese sauce until fully coated.
8. Slice the fried chicken and layer on top of the pasta. Drizzle with extra sauce and garnish with parsley.
Notes
Rest chicken on a rack instead of paper towels to keep the coating crispy.
Reheat Alfredo sauce gently on low heat with a splash of cream to restore smoothness.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream and reduce cheese slightly.
