Breaded Parmesan Chicken With Garlic Penne

Just something I whipped up one night when everyone else wanted pizza. They were eating bits of this in 10 minutes. Alter what you want to fit your needs, I made it up as I went along.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• SAUCE

• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1  tablespoon milk
• 10 -15  garlic cloves, can change depending how much you like garlic
• 6  basil leaves
• 3⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 -2  tablespoon olive oil

• CHICKEN

• 5 -6  boneless chicken breasts
• 2 1⁄2 cups  breadcrumbs, Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs are preferred
• 4  minced garlic cloves
• 2 -3  cups parmesan cheese

• PASTA

• 1  lb penne pasta

Directions

1. SAUCE:
2. ~~NOTE: Before you start the sauce, put your breasts on a griddle and cook them, be sure to keep an eye on them.~~.
3. Put the garlic, basil and olive oil in the food processor and whirl it up until it is mixed well throughout. A blender or just slicing by knife works fine if you do not own a food processor. Set aside.
4. In a small saucepan: combine cornstarch, milk, and cheese. Mixture should be kind of runny, if not add some milk until desired consistency.
5. Once you have reached a desired consistency, add the garlic mixture to the cause and bring to a low boil.
6. After the sauce has boiled put it through a small wire sift to get any clumps of starch out. Set aside
7. CHICKEN:
8. ~~NOTE: Before you start the chicken, start the water for your pasta~~.
9. Cut your cooked chicken breasts into 2-3 inch pieces and put into a frying pan on low heat.
10. Add the cheese, breading, and garlic and turn the heat to Medium-High so that the cheese can melt and the breading will stick.
11. ~~Check your water, if it is boiling, add the pasta.~~.
12. When all the cheese is melted and the chicken pieces are covered, remove them from the heat.
13. FINISHING:.
14. Drain the pasta and then re-sift the sauce onto the noodles.
15. Mix the sauce and noodles and then add the chicken.
16. Mix all together in a pot and serve warm.
