White Wine Pasta with Crispy Panko Parmesan Chicken

Enjoy this easy-to-make pasta dish that will have your friends and family thinking they're at a 5-star Italian restaurant.

There are few things better than a delicious pasta dish made with a crisp white wine, especially when you can enjoy it all from the comfort of your own home. And if you're looking for a new recipe to add to your repertoire, look no further than this mouth-watering white wine pasta with crispy panko parmesan chicken.

To start, you'll need to gather your ingredients. For the pasta, you'll need spaghetti (or any type of pasta to your liking), olive oil, garlic, butter, crushed red pepper, dry white wine, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, lemon, and parsley. For the chicken, you'll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.

Begin by cooking your spaghetti according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat up some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in minced garlic and red pepper, cooking until fragrant. Next, add in the white wine, butter, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid has reduced by about half. Drain your cooked pasta and add it to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce until it's well coated.

For the chicken, cut the chicken breasts into strips and season with salt and pepper. Next, combine panko, parmesan, salt, and pepper, then set aside. Dip each chicken strip into the beaten eggs, then coat it in panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Heat up some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until it's crispy and golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes on each side).

To serve, simply plate your white wine pasta and top with the crispy panko chicken strips. Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan cheese, and pair with a glass of your favorite white wine.

Not only is this dish easy to make, but it's also sure to impress anyone you serve it to. So why not give it a try and see for yourself just how delicious it can be?
