Buffalo Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

This pasta dish tastes just like it sounds. Creamy fettuccine Alfredo with buffalo sauce mixed in and then topped with crispy chicken strips. An absolutely delicious pasta with a little spicy kick from the buffalo sauce. I can not wait to make this dish again!

Buffalo Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

Ingredients:

• 16 ounces fettuccine noodles

Direction:

1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions and drain well.
2. While the pasta cooks, whisk together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl.
3. In a separate shallow bowl add the bread crumbs.
4. Cut the chicken into strips.
5. Heat the oil in a large skillet, over medium heat.
6. Coat the chicken with the milk and egg mixture, then place in the bread crumbs and coat well, press down to make sure it sticks.
7. Place the dredged chicken into the hot skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned to your liking. Turn the chicken over and cook on the other side for 6-8 minutes, or until completely cooked and browned to your liking.

Notes:
I used my Homemade Buffalo Sauce in this dish.

You may need more bread crumbs depending on the size and amount of chicken.
