Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Coating: In a dish, mix Panko breadcrumbs with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. In another dish, whisk the eggs.
- Coat Chicken: Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the whisked eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

- Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Combine and Serve: Toss fettuccine with Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water for extra creaminess. Serve with sliced crispy chicken bites over the pasta.
