Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Asiago cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cups olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Asiago cheese, grated (for sauce)
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with grated Asiago cheese, garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Season the chicken breasts lightly with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat in the panko-Asiago mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil or vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add grated Asiago cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a bit of reserved pasta water.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and cooked fettuccine pasta, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
To serve, plate the fettuccine and top with a fried chicken breast. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
