Step 1
Cook gnocchi (or pasta) in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare a breading station with flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in one bowl, scrambled eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
Step 3
Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat evenly.
Step 4
Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken until golden and crispy on both sides and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Step 6
Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat and stir in Parmesan until fully melted and sauce thickens.
Step 7
Spoon Alfredo sauce over the fried chicken and top with mozzarella. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Toss cooked gnocchi in the remaining Alfredo sauce with a splash of pasta water to loosen if needed.
Step 9
Plate the creamy gnocchi and top with cheesy chicken. Garnish with more Parmesan and serve immediately.
