  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 piece lemon juice and zest
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
For seasoning

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  2. Step 2: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the oven to keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest, then stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and toss with the creamy lemon sauce. Serve topped with the crispy chicken and garnish with parsley.
