Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat well.
Slice the crispy chicken and place it over the pasta. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken by repeating the egg and breadcrumb step.
You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
