Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for Alfredo sauce)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked fettuccine or pasta of choice, to serve
Instructions
- Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station: one plate with flour, one bowl with beaten eggs, and one plate with breadcrumbs mixed with ½ cup Parmesan.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly.
- Return chicken schnitzels to the skillet, spoon Alfredo sauce over them and heat through for 2 minutes.
- Serve schnitzel Alfredo over cooked fettuccine, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce or serve with a side of steamed vegetables.
