Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine dinner recipe that’s been driving my family crazy (in the best way possible)! I’m talking about my Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta – it’s basically heaven on a plate, and I’m spilling all the tea on how to make it! 💁♀️
Listen, we all have those days when we want to feel like a fancy chef without spending hours in the kitchen. This recipe is your ticket to looking like you’ve got your life together, even if you spent the whole day in your PJs (no judgment here!).
Here’s what you’ll need:
For the chicken:
– 4 chicken breasts (pounded thin)
– 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
– 4 cloves minced garlic
– 2 eggs
– Salt and pepper to taste
For the pasta:
– 1 lb fettuccine
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
– 3 cloves garlic
– 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth if you’re keeping it PG)
– Fresh basil
– More Parmesan (because duh! 🧀)

Let’s get cooking:
1. First, get that chicken ready! Mix your breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and garlic in one bowl, beat those eggs in another. Dip each chicken breast in egg, then coat it in that heavenly breadcrumb mixture.
1. Heat some olive oil in a pan (medium-high heat, queens!) and cook each piece until golden brown and crispy – about 5-6 minutes per side. Don’t rush this part; patience makes perfect!
1. For the pasta sauce (this is where the magic happens), sauté garlic in the same pan with a little olive oil, add your wine or broth, and let it reduce. Add cream and sun-dried tomatoes, letting it simmer until it thickens slightly.
1. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to package directions. Pro tip: save some pasta water – trust me on this one!
1. Toss your pasta in that gorgeous sauce, adding pasta water if needed to get that perfect consistency. Top with your crispy chicken, fresh basil, and extra Parmesan because we’re worth it! 💅
