Directions

Pasta instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the box.

Chicken instructions

  1. 1

    Slice each chicken breast in half thickness wise, making 4 thin chicken cutlets. Use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken to about ¼ of an inch.

  2. 2

    Please 3 shallow bowls on the counter. In the first shallow bowl, combine the milk with the eggs and whisk together. Put the flour, salt, and pepper into a second shallow bowl and whisk to combine. In the third shallow bowl, place the Italian style breadcrumbs and the parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Dip each of the cutlets into the flour. Then dip them into the egg, and then, finally, the breadcrumbs to coat.

  4. 4

    Put enough vegetable oil in a pan so that it comes about halfway up the meat. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Put the cutlet in the pan (fry them 1-2 at a time). Cook for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for about 3-4 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. 6

    Remove to drain on a cooling rack.

Sauce instructions

  1. 1

    In a saucepot, add the heavy cream and the butter over medium heat. Stir until the butter melts and the heavy cream comes to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Whisk in the garlic, salt, and black pepper. Then whisk in the asiago cheese until completely melted.

  3. 3

    Add the alfredo sauce into the pasta and stir to coat the pasta in the sauce.
