Fettuccine Alfredo

I attempted to make fettuccine alfredo for Brent while we were dating and all I remember is it was really lumpy, so lumpy that even though the taste really wasn't that bad you couldn't get past the lumps. So I was really nervous to try this recipe. As it turns out, I have no idea what I did wrong the first time but this is really simple and easy and it turned out excellent. This recipe is for the breaded chicken as well. 

Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo

1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tbsp steak seasoning

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lb linguine noodles

1 tbsp salt

1 scant cup chicken broth

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

2-3 cloves minced garlic

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp pepper

8 basil leaves, chiffonaded

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Layer chicken between wax paper and pound breasts to even thickness. In a small bowl, mix the egg, milk, lemon juice and garlic powder. Pour mixture into ziploc bag with chicken. Seal and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours (I only let it sit in the mixture while I prepared the breading, and it tasted great). After marinating, whisk together flour, bread crumbs, salt, baking powder, and steak seasoning in a medium bowl. Remove chicken from milk mixture, shake off excess, and coat in flour mixture. Add 1 tbsp of salt to a large pot of water and bring to boil. Boil noodles according to package. Then, in a medium saucepan, heat chicken broth over medium high heat, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in heavy cream, cornstarch, and garlic. Bring to a soft boil and stir for one minute. Reduce heat to low, add parmesan cheese and pepper. Let simmer for about 10 mins to melt cheese, let thicken, and incorporate flavors. Meanwhile, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When butter just starts to turn brown, arrange chicken in skillet. Cook 4-5 mins each side until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through. While chicken is cooking, chop fresh herbs and stir into Alfredo sauce right before serving. Serve sauce over pasta and chicken.
