The Best Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe EVER

Erin: I know you already have a "go-to" fettuccine alfredo recipe but I'm telling you -- you must try this recipe. It calls for a lot of ingredients (but an avid cook such as yourself should have a majority of the ingredients already lying around!). I cooked this on Sunday night and it was the perfect way to end the weekend. The recipe has directions on how to cook the chicken as well, and I must say that the chicken is so good I would make it on its own.
 
Let me know how you like it  ;)





Ingredients:
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 3 chicken breasts)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used Italian)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tbsp steak seasoning
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb linguine noodles
1 tbsp salt
1  cup chicken broth
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

What to do:
For the chicken:
1. In a small bowl, mix the egg, milk, lemon juice and garlic powder. Pour mixture into ziploc bag with chicken. Seal and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. (You don't have to marinate it for that long if you are pressed for time, or if you are like me and totally did not read the recipe until it was time to start making dinner!)
2. After marinating, whisk together flour, bread crumbs, salt, baking powder, and steak seasoning in a medium bowl.
3. Remove chicken from milk mixture, shake off excess, and coat in flour mixture.
4. Let it sit for a few minutes and then heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. When butter just starts to turn brown, arrange chicken in skillet. Cook 4-5 mins each side until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through

Meanwhile, make the pasta

For the sauce:
1. In a saucepan, heat chicken broth over medium high heat, bringing to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in heavy cream, cornstarch, and garlic.
3. Bring to a soft boil and stir for one minute. Reduce heat to low, add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
4. Let simmer for about 10 mins to melt cheese, let thicken, and incorporate flavors.
5. Serve the chicken over pasta and then top with sauce.

Enjoy! :)
