Instructions

  • Boil salted water and cook pasta as per package instructions; drain, saving a cup of pasta water.
    16 ounces pasta
  • Mix all seasonings in a large bowl.
    ½ tsp salt & pepper, 1 tsp onion, 1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp Oregano
  • Divide the seasoning equally into three parts for the panko, flour, and chicken.
  • Coat chicken with seasoned flour, egg wash, and then seasoned panko.
    2 thinly sliced chicken breasts, 4 oz Panko breadcrumbs, 1 egg + 1 tsp water, ¼ cup flour
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and fry chicken for 4-5 minutes each side until cooked; let it drain.
  • In the same pan, add butter and cook pancetta until crisp; remove and set aside.
    3 tablespoons butter, 4 oz pancetta
  • In the pan, make a roux with butter and flour.
  • Gradually add heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the reserved pasta water; whisk until smooth.
    ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • Stir in cheese until melted, then incorporate cooked pasta and pancetta.
    2 cups parmesan cheese
  • Top with sliced cooked chicken and serve.

Notes

  • If you are using regular chicken breasts, slice them in half and then pound until they are thin.
  • Save some time and purchase thin-sliced chicken breasts at the grocery store.
  • If you are in a pinch, you can use bacon instead of pancetta.
  • For an added bonus, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving!
