Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
  • 4 chicken breasts butterflied
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 lb Farfalle pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 8 ounces crimini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients for the sauce and leave it aside.
  2. Boil water in a large pot and cook pasta until it is just shy of fully cooked according to package instructions, then drain without rinsing.
  3. In one bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper; in another, beat the eggs.
  4. Coat each chicken breast by first dredging in breadcrumb mixture, then dipping in eggs, and once again in the breadcrumb mix.
  5. Let the coated chicken rest while you prepare the vegetables.
  6. Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat and sauté bell peppers, onion, garlic, and mushrooms until they start to brown lightly without becoming soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the vegetables and add oil to the pan, heating until hot; cook the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
  8. Take out the chicken and drain excess oil from the pan.
  9. Add the pasta and sautéed vegetables to the pan along with the prepared sauce, stirring and allowing it to thicken for 3 to 5 minutes.
  10. Slice the cooked chicken and serve it on top of the pasta with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • *The initial coating on the chicken will mainly be flour to help the eggs stick, so this is expected
  • Baked Chicken: To bake the chicken instead of frying, preheat oven to 400°F and cook the breasts for about 15 minutes if they are 1/4 inch thick or 20 minutes if 1/2 inch thick
  • Spray lightly with cooking spray before baking and flip halfway for a crispy texture
