    • Dip each chicken breast first in Parmesan, then in the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  • Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    • Add the coated chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.

    • Transfer to a plate and slice into bite-sized pieces or leave whole.

  • Cook the Pasta:

    • Boil fettuccine according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

  • Prepare the Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

    • Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    • Pour in lemon juice, white wine, and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

    • Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Combine Everything:

    • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss well.

    • Return the sliced chicken to the skillet to reheat.

 

  • Serve:

    • Plate hot pasta and garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan.

Notes

  • For extra richness, you can add more Parmesan cheese to the sauce.

  • If you don’t want to use white wine, you can substitute it with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.

 

  • Adjust the lemon juice based on your preference for tanginess.
