Instructions
- Step 1
Season chicken halves with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and a touch of MSG. Rub with a bit of oil.
- Step 2
Dredge in flour. Dip in milk. Coat in seasoned panko. Repeat milk and panko once more for extra crispiness.
- Step 3
Fry until golden brown and crisp. Do not cut immediately, let rest for 5 minutes so the inside cooks through and stays juicy.
- Step 4
Cook pasta until al dente. Save 50 ml of pasta water. In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add cream, milk, seasonings, lemon zest, and a splash of lemon juice. Stir gently. Mix in Parmesan until melted into a smooth sauce. Add pasta water if needed. Toss in the pasta until fully coated.
- Step 5
Slice the crispy chicken into strips. Place on top of the creamy pasta. Garnish with extra Parmesan and lemon zest.
