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

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pound Chicken Evenly 🔨Use a meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to uniform ¼-inch thickness for even cooking and crispier breading throughout the entire cutlet.
- Reserve Starchy Pasta Water 💧Save 1 cup of gnocchi cooking water before draining—its starch helps emulsify the Alfredo sauce and creates a silkier, more cohesive texture.
- Double-Dredge for Extra Crunch 🍗Dip breaded chicken in beaten egg a second time and coat with breadcrumbs again before frying to achieve an exceptionally crispy, golden exterior that stays crunchy under the sauce.
- Bloom Garlic in Butter First 🧈Toast minced garlic in melted butter for 30-45 seconds over low heat before adding cream to release aromatic oils and prevent raw garlic flavor in your Alfredo sauce.
- Temper Cheese Addition 🧀Add grated Parmesan off heat and stir gently to prevent clumping and separation—add reserved pasta water gradually if the sauce becomes too thick.
