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 Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta. It’s one of those recipes that makes everyone think you’ve been secretly taking culinary classes! 😉
First, let me spill the tea on what you’ll need:
– 4 chicken breasts (because who doesn’t love chicken?)
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (none of that pre-grated stuff, honey!)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 6 if you’re keeping vampires away)
– 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
– 1 lb fettuccine pasta
– 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil
– 2 cups heavy cream
– Fresh basil (because we’re fancy like that)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Okay queens, here’s how we’re going to make magic happen:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F. While that’s heating up, mix your Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and half the minced garlic in a shallow dish.
1. Season those chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip them in beaten egg and coat them in your Parmesan mixture. Make it rain with that cheese, sis!
(Quick pause – if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouth-watering recipes that’ll have your family begging for seconds! 💁♀️)
1. Place those beauties in a baking dish and pop them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
1. While the chicken is doing its thing, cook your pasta according to package directions. Trust me, al dente is the way to go!
1. Now for the sauce (this is where the magic happens): In a large skillet, sauté remaining garlic in some of that oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
1. Toss your cooked pasta in this heavenly sauce, and plate it up with your crispy chicken on top. Sprinkle with fresh basil and extra Parmesan because honestly, is there such thing as too much cheese? (The answer is no, don’t @ me)
Let me tell you, this dish is seriously giving main character energy! It’s perfect for date night, family dinner, or when you just want to feel like that chef you were meant to be.
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made this for guests and watched their faces light up at the first bite. It’s that good!
