Ingredients

• 500 g Boneless Chicken Breast (skinless, cut into large pieces for coating)
• 2 large Egg (beaten)
• 1 tsp Salt (kosher or table salt)
• 0.5 tsp Red Chili Powder (adjust to heat preference)
• 0.25 tsp Turmeric Powder (for color and subtle flavor)
• 0.5 cup Cornflour (for coating the chicken)
• 1 cup Bread Crumbs (fine texture)
• 2 cup Vegetable Oil (high smoke‑point oil for frying)
• 400 g Fettuccine Pasta (cook al dente)
• 2 tbsp Butter (unsalted)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Ginger Paste (fresh or jarred)
• 1 tsp Garlic Paste (fresh or jarred)
• 1 cup Heavy Cream (35% fat, for a rich sauce)
• 1 tsp Oregano (dried Italian oregano)
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded, low‑moisture)

Instructions

1. Cook Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain using a colander and set aside.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: boiling

2. Prepare Egg Coating

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, red chili powder, and turmeric until well combined.

   Time: PT2M

3. Coat the Chicken

   Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, then roll in cornflour, and finally press into bread crumbs ensuring an even coating.

   Time: PT3M

4. Fry the Chicken

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium‑high heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning once.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: medium-high

5. Make Alfredo Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then stir in ginger paste and garlic paste for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, then add oregano and shredded mozzarella, stirring until cheese melts.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: medium

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing gently to coat evenly. Cook together for 2 minutes so the pasta absorbs some sauce.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium

7. Add Fried Chicken

   Slice each fried chicken piece in half lengthwise, then arrange the pieces on top of the sauced pasta. Serve immediately.

   Time: PT1M
