Baked Parmesan Chicken with Alfredo Pasta

I love to cook. I love making meals for me and my wife, who works endlessly and tirelessly. I like finding new dinner ideas, and so far, we haven’t had a meal where we said, “Never Again!”

When we lived at the cottage for three months, we had an old gas stove, but I didn’t trust it. Perhaps because of our house fire, I was very cautious about things like that. So, we grilled outside or cooked on an open fire in a fire pit (that was a fail!).

When we moved into the hotel, the only source to “cook” in our room was a microwave, so, needless to say, we ate out a lot. I feel I am so over fast food for a while!

Since we’ve moved into Becky’s sister’s house, I’ve been excited to get back to cooking for her again. You never realize how much you miss home-cooked meals until you don’t have access to all the necessities. I want to share this exciting meal that came about by accident, and my sometimes lack of reading comprehension!

I saw an article on Facebook, about Olive Garden making Parmesan-Alfredo Crusted Steak, and I misread the headline as a recipe for it! I was a little bummed; but, I took that and created my own version of this meal, but with boneless/skinless chicken breasts.

The prep and overall cook/bake process is super simple. I took a big Ziploc bag, poured some bread crumbs that you can get at any supermarket, and I added some shredded Parmesan cheese.

Before I placed them in the bag, I ran water over the chicken, so the breading would adhere better. Next, I took the chicken breasts and coated them with that and then placed them on a baking sheet. Next time, I’ll use a baking dish, as the sheet was a little difficult to clean! Chalk that up to live and learn!

As the chicken was baking, I made the Alfredo sauce. Nothing fancy, but the flavor was so delicious! It’s so easy, I have it recalled to memory!

You can use any style of pasta you like, but I used angel hair pasta. It cooks very quickly, which is a plus. Once the chicken is done, I plated it and then drizzled some Alfredo sauce over it. I tossed the pasta in the pan with the remaining sauce and then plated it on the side of the chicken breast. It was such an enjoyable meal!

I hope that you will make this, and enjoy the flavors of the chicken and the pasta. Bon Appetit!
