Crispy Chicken with Creamy Italian Sauce and Pasta Recipe
A crispy chicken and pasta recipe with a creamy and flavorful sauce!
Serving people
Ingredients
- 5 cups corn flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ cup milk
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 Tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper , to taste
Sauce:
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 10 ounces Philadelphia Italian cheese and Herb Cooking Cream
- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup milk
- fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a small food processor crush the corn flakes into crumbs.
- Combine the salt and the flour. Stir to combine.
- Place the flour, milk and crushed cornflakes each into their own separate pans or bowls. Loaf pans work well for this.
- Place your chicken breasts in a gallon sized Ziploc bag and seal the top.
- Pound the chicken flat with a meat mallet.
- Take a pair of sharp kitchen scissors and cut each breast in half.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour. Be sure it gets covered on both sides.
- Lay the floured chicken onto a small cookie sheet and slide the sheet into the freezer for about 5 minutes.
- Start cooking your pasta.
- Remove the chicken from the freezer and dredge each piece in the milk and then immediately into the corn flake crumbs. Again, be sure both sides are covered well.
- Add the olive oil to a hot skillet.
- Carefully lay each chicken piece into the hot oil. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper. Cook over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until the underside of each piece is nice and golden brown.
- Turn the pieces over. If the bottom of the pan is dry add just a bit more olive oil to the side of the pan. Swirl the pan around a bit to let the oil flow to all sides. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Let the chicken cook for about 7 more minutes, being careful not to burn the bottoms.
- When your chicken has been cooked through remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Cover with foil.
- Into the same pan pour your broth. Philly Cooking Creme, Cream of Chicken, and milk. Whisk the sauce around and let it get all warm and bubbly. Should only take about 3 minutes.
- Slice your chicken into strips and serve over your cooked pasta and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if you choose.

Made it tonight and it was delicious! This recipe made a ton of sauce, though, so we’ll probably 1/2 it next time.
Sounds amazing, definitely going to try this! Thanks for sharing!

Do you suppose this would freeze up alright?
Hi!
I think this would freeze just fine! I think the only problem you might come across is that the chicken might not be as crispy. Let us know if you try it!
I made this with whole wheat linguine noodles and it was fantastic! My husband is already asking me to make it again.
I made this tonight and it was delish! I cut the sauce in half and it was the perfect amount.
If you dont have cooking cream cheese can you use regular cream cheese?
It should work fine. The taste may be slightly different.
Looks/sounds delicious…but you should never fry with olive oil. It is not stable under high heat and actually becomes a bad fat when heated above 350 degrees. Still not sure why so many cooking shows say to use olive oil in cooking. Olive oil is a finishing oil!!
The Philadelphia cooking cream has been discontinued.
Is there an alternative to the cooking cream? It’s on my menu plan this week, and it doesn’t exist anymore…
I went to the original recipe from another blog and she has updated it! Here’s the link to it. https://jamiecooksitup.net/2014/09/crispy-chicken-with-italian-sauce-and-bowtie-noodles-new-and-improved/
