Fremgangsmåte

Season chicken breasts on both sides. Set aside.

In one shallow bowl, place the flour. In another, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, followed by dipping it into the egg, and then coating it with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently to ensure a good coating.

Heat the olive oil or neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Set in warm oven to keep warm

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until soft for about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Add lemon and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in the lemon zest. Add seasonings, mix and add freshly grated Parmesan. Mix until well combined and taste for salt and pepper. Add reserved pasta water and stir until well combined.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly coated. Garnish with parsley and serve with chicken.
