Ingredients

Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken:

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken cutlets, about 3 pounds
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon parsley

Creamy Garlic Alfredo Shells:

  • 8 ounces pasta shells
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Parmesan Garlic Crusted Chicken:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Dip the chicken into the melted butter and then coat in the bread crumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout and no longer pink.

Cooking Garlic Alfredo Shells:

  • Meanwhile, cook the 8 ounces pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the ¾ cup heavy whipping cream and 4 ounces softened cream cheese together until smooth and melted. Add the 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
