Instructions

Prepare the chicken schnitzel by seasoning the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip into eggs, then press into breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken schnitzels until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
To make the Alfredo sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
Serve the crispy chicken schnitzel over a bed of Alfredo-coated pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double-dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumb mixture. Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
