• Add the breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish. Then whisk the egg in a small flat dish that’s big enough to hold the chicken.

Step 2: How to Fry Chicken Cutlets

• Heat the oil in a heavy pan and add the chicken cutlets to the hot oil. Allow them to cook in the oil for about 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
• Check the chicken with an digital meat thermometer to make sure it reaches 165° internally.
• Remove from the pan and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the creamy Alfredo sauce.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Alfredo Sauce

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Then add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Finally add the Parmesan cheese.
• Allow the mixture to cook for a few more minutes until it has thickened up. Stir in the cooked Fettuccine noodles.
