How To Make butter & garlic pasta w/ chicken cutlets
-
Step 1Slice each chicken breast into 1 1/2 inch thick slices. Season. Whisk eggs in a bowl. I used 2 pieces of foil. One for flour and the other for the crumbs. Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Meanwhile, I roll each piece of chicken in the flour, next egg, then crumbs. Place in skillet, and brown on each side slowly. About 5 - 6 minutes per side.
-
Step 2While the chicken is cooking; bring your salted pasta water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente.
-
Step 3While pasta is cooking, place your butter in a saucepan. Heat on med - low, so as not to burn. When it begins to simmer, add the garlic. Simmer this for about 20 minutes. Keep a watch not to burn the garlic or butter. When the garlic is nice and tender. Add the hot pepper flakes and cheese. Stir well.
-
Step 4Drain pasta. Do not rinse. Add to a bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the pasta, and toss to coat well.
-
Step 5Place pasta on plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese,parsley and more pepper flakes if desired. Salt and pepper. Serve the chicken a long side. Or you could cut the chicken into smaller pieces and mix it with the pasta. The kids loved it. Enjoy!
