Instructions
Crispy Chicken:
- Trim the chicken and cut each breast in half horizontally to yield 2 thin cutlets per breast.
- Place chicken cutlets between two layers of plastic wrap and pound until they're 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Arrange three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish. Whisk eggs and milk in the second dish. In the third dish, mix together panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1-2 inches in a large, deep skillet and heat to 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and then coat in the panko mixture.
- Fry breaded chicken in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side, until brown, crispy, and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
- Remove chicken from the oil and let it drain.
Pasta:
- As the chicken fries, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and stir in pesto.
Lemon Cream Sauce:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, increase heat to medium, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in salt, garlic, and pepper, then gradually add cream and broth, whisking to combine.
- Heat the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice. For a thinner sauce, add pasta water or more chicken broth.
Assembly:
- Serve a generous portion of pasta on each plate. Top with a piece of Parmesan-crusted chicken.
- Drizzle lemon cream sauce over the chicken and pasta.
- Garnish with prosciutto, arugula, and additional Parmesan cheese.
