Chicken Alfredo Recipe
CHICKEN INGREDIENTS:
3-4 chicken breasts halved lengthwise or pounded to 3/8 inch
1 1/4 cups flour
3 Tbsp Cornstarch Optional
3 eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2/3 cup shredded parmesan
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 pepper
*optional add 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
CHICKEN INSTRUCTIONS:
On a large plate or dish, Mix flour with salt and pepper to taste.
In a medium size bowl, whisk eggs and add buttermilk.
On a large plate or dish, mix panko, Parmesan, salt and pepper to taste. (optional add up to 4 tsp Italian seasoning.
Set out an empty large plate or dish to put your breaded chicken onto.
Slice chicken lengthwise, and/or pound to around 3/8" thickness.
Place chicken first in flour, covering both sides well and shake off excess, then dip completely into egg mixture. Finally dredge through the breadcrumb mixture coating both sides well, and place on your empty dish or plate.
Heat oil in a skillet or pan on medium heat until shimmering, and add chicken. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on each side. check for internal temp of at least 165F.
Place on a paper towel covered plate.
ALFREDO INGREDIENTS:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 stick butter
3 cups Parmesan Reggiano
5-6 garlic cloves
fresh basil*
fresh thyme*
1/4 tsp salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp pepper
*can substitute 1 tsp italian seasoning
ALFREDO INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring large pot of water to a rolling boil for desired pasta noodle type. Place noodles in salted, boiling water around the time the sauce begins to thicken.
In a large skillet or pan, place 1 stick of butter and turn heat to medium.
As butter begins to melt add 5-6 minced garlic cloves (or 1-2 Tbsp of minced garlic.)
When heated add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil.
Immediately reduce heat to simmer until sauce begins to thicken. (2-4 minutes)
Add 3/4 tsp of salt (remember Parmesan is salty so stay short of where you want it to end in taste)
Add 1/2 tsp of cracked black pepper (to taste)
Add 1 -2 tsp of fresh chopped basil, and 1-2 tsp of fresh chopped thyme*
Remove from heat or reduce to low and whisk in parmesan 1 handful at a time to taste and texture desired.
When draining pasta, reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
Reserve a small amount of sauce for plating, then place drained noodles in Alfredo sauce and mix well. If the Alfredo sauce is too dry, or the noodles absorb too much, add pasta water around 1/8 cup at a time, and mix, until desired consistency is reached.
Place pasta on plate, slice chicken breast and place on top, then garnish with reserved Alfredo sauce and fresh basil leaves, sprinkle with fresh Parmesan and serve!
I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I do!

Great video Zach! Would be more pleasant to watch if the music volume was way lower or even not there.

What a hit you have created!!! Your are very professional!!! I watched you grow up on the show and love your family. I grew up in Clinton and I am so proud of living so close to you all. Your parents taught all of you well and every one of the children is successful!! I look forward to more great recipes!!!

Ideas for the future …. Bring in your wife or kids or friends to taste test. I bet fans would like to see you cooking for a bunch of law enforcement officers as well at their station or at a firehouse. I like the pots and pans you used, those were great quality. Nice kitchen too! Nice knife work. Nice plating and presentation. Nice clear camera work! Again I could see you with a cooking show on Food Network.

Pro Chef here ✌ Excellent job❤ Love your videos! Just extra knowledge if you don't already know, but you can toast dry spices in the pan to bring out more flavor 👍 Also, can pinch the bigger ones to release their oils to impart more flavor, just like toasting them in a pan. Basil, you can stack the leaves on top of one another and roll them lengthwise, then slice thinly, its called a Chiffonade. You certainly dont need anyones help but for me its fun to learn or remember little tid bits! That meal made my tummy gurgle time for an unplanned midnight snack, thanks, Zach😂

I may be in the minority but I didn’t have an issue with the music! Appreciated that you specified that this was an americanised version, so many helpful little tips along the way like sweating the garlic. Keen to give this a go!

Your recipe looks absolutely delicious! At age 71 I don't do that much cooking anymore because it's just me now that my husband has gone home with the Lord. But this one looks easy enough to try if I'm having company. Your video channel looks very professional! I'm on my way to watch the next one now!
