Crispy Chicken with Creamy Italian Sauce

This was the perfect consistency and all of the flavors in it were amazing. I served it with a side of fresh asparagus and it was perfection. This turned out to be such a great meal and I was even able to get my picky eater to eat 3 bites! That is huge progress! :)

Ingredients

  • 3 large chicken breasts, about 2 ½ pounds
  • 4 cups corn flakes
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 6 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces bowtie pasta noodles

Creamy Italian Sauce

  • 1 (8-ounce) container chive and onion cream cheese
  • 1 package dry Italian Seasoning mix
  • 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
  • In a food processor grind the cornflakes into crumbs. You can also place the cornflakes in a gallon-sized bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Place them in a pan or large plate and set aside.
  • Mix the flour and the salt together and place in a separate pan. Lastly, put the milk into another separate pan and set it aside.
  • Pound the chicken to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thickness. Then cut the chicken in half, creating 6 smaller flattened pieces of chicken.
  • Dip the chicken in the flour and coat well. Place them on a plate and place the floured chicken in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  • While the chicken is in the freezer, in a large saucepan heat up the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Take the chicken out of the freezer, dredge them in the milk, and then coat them in the crushed cornflakes.
  • Carefully place the breaded chickens into the saucepan and cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
  • Cover the pan reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 8-10 more minutes making sure they are cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover with foil while you prepare your sauce.
  • In the same saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, Italian seasoning package, and heavy cream.
  • Whisk and cook the sauce over medium-high heat until it is warmed through and bubbly.
  • Cut the chicken into strips, pour the sauce over the bowtie pasta, and serve with the chicken.
