To make this parmesan crusted chicken and pasta, I started by cooking some cavatappi pasta according to the instructions on the package.

Then I drained the pasta and set it aside.

I butterflied two large chicken breasts.

Then I cut the chicken breasts in half.

I dumped some bread crumbs, all purpose flour, grated parmesan and Italian seasoning into a pie plate.

Then I stirred all of the ingredients together well.

I poured some milk into a separate pie plate.

I placed one of the chicken breast halves into the bread crumb mixture and turned it over to coat it on both sides.

Then I dipped the chicken breast in the milk.

I returned the chicken breast to the bread crumb mixture and coated it well again.

Then I dipped the chicken breast into the milk a second time.

Finally I returned the chicken breast to the bread crumb mixture and coated it well one last time.

I repeated this process with the remaining three chicken breast halves.

Then I heated 1/2 an inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the oil was hot I placed the chicken breasts in the oil.

I was only able to fit two chicken breast halves at a time.

I cooked the chicken breasts until they were nicely browned on the bottom.

Then I flipped the chicken breasts to brown the other sides.

Once the chicken breasts were browned on both sides and cooked to an internal temperature of 165F, I transferred them to a wire rack over some paper towel.

Then I dumped some butter into a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the butter was melted I added some garlic puree to the pan.

I stirred the butter and garlic puree together well and then added some all purpose flour to the pan.

I stirred until the flour and butter were well combined.

Then I continued cooking the mixture for three minutes.

After three minutes I added some chicken broth to the pan.

I whisked until the liquid thickened.

Then I added some light cream to the pan.

I whisked well again.

Then I added some salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the pan.

I whisked again.

Then I added the cooked cavatappi to the pan.

I stirred until all of the noodles were coated in sauce.

Then I removed the pan from the heat and added some shredded asiago cheese.

I stirred just until the cheese was melted.

Then I sliced the breaded chicken breasts.

I served the pasta with the sliced chicken breasts on top.

This crispy breaded chicken and pasta is a family friendly dinner recipe.

You could also serve this crispy chicken over rice or on a salad if you prefer.
