Directions
1
Chop about half a pot of bacon and cook on low heat in a large skillet.
2
While bacon is cooking, trim and thinly slice two large chicken breasts, aiming for three slices per breast.
3
Season chicken slices with pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
4
Prepare two separate bowls: one with Italian style bread crumbs and the other with about a cup of Caesar dressing.
5
Dip each piece of chicken first in the Caesar dressing, then in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring a nice thin layer.
6
Set the breaded chicken aside until the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness.
7
Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and add the chicken to the same skillet.
8
Cook chicken for about 3 minutes on each side; if thicker, cook for 4 minutes per side.
9
If there isn't enough bacon grease for the second batch of chicken, add a little oil to the pan and cook the remaining chicken.
10
Clean up the pan a little, then add a few tablespoons of butter and some minced garlic to the skillet.
11
Once the garlic is fragrant, add 1 pound of pasta and toss it up.
12
Pour in one carton of reduced sodium chicken broth and boil for about 8 to 10 minutes.
13
Thinly slice the cooked chicken.
14
Once the broth has been absorbed and the noodles are al dente, turn off the heat.
15
Add about half a cup of heavy cream and around half a cup of Caesar dressing to the pasta.
16
Toss the pasta mixture and add about a cup of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
17
If desired, add a little more heavy cream for a creamier consistency.
18
Top the finished pasta with the cooked bacon and sliced chicken.
19
Garnish with a little more freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
