Method
Prepare the Chicken
- In a wide, shallow dish, stir together breadcrumbs, parmesan, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a second wide, shallow dish, whisk together eggs and water.
- Toss chicken in the flour/breadcrumb mixture, then in the egg mixture, and then a second time in the flour/breadcrumbs to give it a really good coating.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in oil. Add the coated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Transfer to a dish and cover to keep warm.
- Cook fettuccine noodles according to the package's directions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water and cover pasta to keep warm until ready to serve.
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic for 1 minute til fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the melted butter and garlic and stir until a paste forms.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Stir in salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water.
- Stir in salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese until cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
- Gradually whisk in more pasta water as needed to rich a smooth, pourable sauce. Taste, add salt and pepper if needed.
- Slice chicken and serve with fettuccine noodles and prepared sauce. Garnish with cracked black pepper and chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
