Equipment

  • Skillet
  • shallow dish, etc.

Ingredients

To make Breadcrumbs:

  • 4 cups of artisanal breadcrumbs
  • 4 teaspoons of aromatic garlic powder
  • Salt and white pepper finely balanced according to taste
  • 4 teaspoons of finely chopped parsley for a burst of freshness
  • 2 teaspoons of handpicked onion powder

For The Chicken:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 pounds of succulent boneless chicken breasts
  • 32 ounces of cooked pasta noodles
  • 6 teaspoons of premium butter
  • 1-2 cups of flour for a delicate dusting
  • Salt and white pepper perfectly adjusted to taste

For The Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 1 cup of indulgent heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons of finely minced garlic
  • 6 teaspoons of softened unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup of dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoons of meticulously minced parsley
  • 4 tablespoons of finely minced shallots
  • 3 cups of velvety unsalted butter
  • Salt and white pepper harmonized according to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the breadcrumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder and season with salt and white pepper to taste. Give it a good mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside for later use.
  • It’s time to prepare the star of the dish – the chicken. Take each chicken breast and cut it in half horizontally to make thinner pieces. Then, place each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until flattened into a uniform thickness of 1/4 inch. For enhanced flavor, season both sides of the chicken with salt and white pepper.
  • Next, it’s time to coat the chicken. In one shallow dish, beat eggs together. In another dish, add flour for dusting. And in a third dish, add the breadcrumb mixture. Now, take each piece of chicken and dip it first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted, place the coated chicken pieces into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust and are fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Let’s move on to preparing the delectable garlic butter sauce. Using the same skillet used for cooking the chicken, add minced garlic and shallots. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to release their flavors. Now, deglaze the pan by adding white wine and scraping off any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. After 2 minutes of reducing, add heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, and butter. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Time to plate! Cook pasta noodles according to package instructions while preparing the garlic butter sauce. Once cooked, place a serving of noodles on each plate, top it with the delectable cooked chicken, and drizzle the creamy garlic butter sauce over it. Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for that added touch of freshness.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, bake the chicken in the oven instead of pan-frying.
  • Add mushrooms or spinach to the garlic butter sauce for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Make sure to use dry white wine for deglazing as it adds more depth to the sauce compared to a sweeter wine.
  • For added crunch, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Make sure to keep an eye on the chicken while cooking to avoid overcooking and drying it out.
  • Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting the procedure for best results.
