Instructions

Step 1

Prep the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place oat flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and crushed cornflakes in a third.

Step 2

Bread the Chicken: Coat each chicken breast in oat flour, dip in egg, then press into crushed cornflakes to coat fully. Spray both sides with olive oil spray.

Step 3

Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken breasts in a single layer and cook 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and internal temp is 165°F (74°C). Rest, then slice.

Step 4

Cook the Pasta: While chicken cooks, boil fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Make the Sauce: In a saucepan over low-medium heat, add Alfredo sauce, lite cream cheese, parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and hot.

Step 6

Combine & Serve: Toss pasta with Alfredo sauce. Plate hot, top with sliced cornflake-crusted chicken, and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
