Treat your taste buds to a cozy, comforting delight that's perfect for any family dinner!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
For the Creamy Pasta:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 🧀 ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine work great)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish

For the Crispy Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 🧀 ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Prepare two bowls: one with beaten eggs and another with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Dip each chicken breast first into the egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
4. For the pasta, cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
5. In the same skillet used for chicken, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add heavy cream and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens.
6. Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
7. Serve the pasta on plates, topped with crispy chicken and garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

💡 Tips and Tricks 💡
- For an extra crispy chicken, let the coated chicken sit for 10 minutes before frying. This helps the coating stick better.
- If the pasta sauce thickens too much, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
