Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
- Mix the Breading: Combine grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast in beaten egg and dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Place coated chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Slice the Chicken: Transfer chicken to a plate to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
- Cook the Pasta: In a pot, bring salted water to a boil, cook pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, and reserve 1 cup pasta water.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine Cream and Broth: Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth, simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Cheese: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted, season with salt and pepper.
- Adjust the Sauce: If too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.
- Combine Pasta and Chicken: Toss cooked pasta in sauce, add sliced chicken, and mix gently.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.

Notes
Ensure the chicken is evenly pounded for uniform cooking. Customize the dish with sautéed vegetables or different proteins like shrimp or sausage.
