Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts Tender and juicy, these chicken breasts will form the base of your dish.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Kinder's The Blend seasoning This all-purpose seasoning adds a burst of flavor to the chicken.
  • 2 large eggs Rich in protein, these will help bind the breadcrumbs to the chicken for a scrumptious coating.
  • splash heavy cream Adds a velvety richness to the egg wash, elevating the breading.
  • 7 to 8 oz Italian style breadcrumbs Crispy and aromatic, these breadcrumbs will create that perfect crunch.
  • 1 to 2 cups neutral oil Use canola, vegetable, or avocado oil for frying, ensuring a high smoke point for perfect crispiness.
  • 12 oz marinara sauce Rich and flavorful, this sauce is the perfect complement to the chicken.
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella Torn into pieces, this cheese melts beautifully, adding a deliciously gooey texture.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley Optional for garnish, adds a pop of color and freshness.

For the Fettuccine Alfredo

  • 1 serving Fettuccine Alfredo Prepared separately.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken breasts generously with Kinder's The Blend seasoning on both sides.
  • Set up a breading station with two shallow bowls. In one bowl, whisk together the eggs, a splash of heavy cream, and some extra seasoning. In the second bowl, pour in the Italian breadcrumbs.
  • Dip each seasoned chicken piece into the egg wash, allow excess to drip off, then transfer to the breadcrumbs, pressing down firmly to coat well.
  • Let the breaded chicken rest on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat about an inch of oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Cooking

  • Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the fried chicken, sprinkle lightly with salt, and keep warm in a 200°F oven.
  • Prepare your fettuccine Alfredo according to your preferred recipe.
  • Retrieve the chicken from the oven, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, and top with torn mozzarella.
  • Broil the chicken on low until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.

Serving

  • Serve a generous portion of fettuccine Alfredo alongside the Chicken Parmesan, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Tips for success include letting the breaded chicken rest before frying, ensuring the oil is hot enough for frying, and avoiding overcrowding the pan.
