Instructions

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil for your fettuccine.
In a large dish, mix the panko crumbs and ¼ cup of parmesan cheese; stir until well combined.
In a separate dish, whisk the eggs thoroughly.
Coat each chicken breast first in all-purpose flour, gently shaking off the excess, then dip it in the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions until al dente.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the parmesan cheese, whisking frequently. Let this simmer for 6-8 minutes; season generously with salt and pepper.
While the sauce simmers, heat vegetable oil in another skillet. Fry the chicken cutlets for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Once cooked, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the cooked fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce, adding a little pasta water to reach your desired creaminess. Check the seasoning and adjust as needed.
Serve the creamy fettuccine topped with the crispy chicken bites and enjoy your meal!

Notes

For added flavor, consider pairing it with a green salad and garlic bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
