  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon pepper

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

For the Pasta:

  • 8 ounce pasta of choice I used penne
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated asiago cheese can substitute for parmesan
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Electric Lemon Vinaigrette California Balsamic Brand is a MUST!
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

For the Chicken:

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make them chicken cutlets. If needed, pound on a cutting board to make the chicken cutlets very thin so they cook through.
  • Grab three medium-sized bowls. In the first bowl, whisk together the flour, pepper and salt until well blended.
  • In the second bowl, whisk the two eggs and Electric Lemon Vinaigrette together and set aside.
  • In the third bowl, stir together the Italian breadcrumbs and freshly grated Asiago cheese and set aside.
  • Grab one chicken cutlet and first coat with flour, then the eggs, and then the breadcrumb mixture. Complete until all chicken cutlets are coated evenly.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat with butter. Once melted, add the chicken and fry on both sides until cooked through and golden.

For the Pasta:

  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.
  • In a medium sized skillet, add two tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the garlic and stir for 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Add in the heavy cream and Electric Lemon Vinaigrette and stir until combined. Keep stirring on medium-high heat until it starts thickening. Remove from the heat and add the freshly grated Asiago cheese and salt and pepper. Stir well.
  • Serve with the chicken (slice it if you would like) and garnish with more Electric Lemon Vinaigrette drizzle on top! Enjoy!
