From:  LilLuna.com

Ingredients
  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 2-3 cups Panko bread crumbs
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 6 TB olive oil
  • 1 - 12 oz package farfalle noodles
Sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp granulated garlic
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ¼ tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp chicken bullion granules
  • 1 TB butter
  • 1 can cream of chicken
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
 
Instructions
  1. Combine ½ tsp salt and ¾ cup flour in a bowl/pie pan (we use the pie pan because it's easy for dipping the breasts in) and set aside.
  2. Prepare for the breading process by putting the crumbs, flour and milk each into their separate bowls or pie/bread pans. Set aside.
  3. Place chicken in a gallon sized ziplock bag. Pound the chicken flat with a meat mallet. Remove chicken and slice each breast in half.
  4. Dip your chicken in the flour, covering all sides. Lay onto a small cookie sheet and set in freezer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Start cooking your pasta according to box directions.
  6. Place oil in skillet on medium heat.
  7. Remove chicken from the freezer and place into the bowl/pie pan of milk and then into the crumbs. Carefully add chicken to the oil and cook on both sides until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes each). Add more olive oil as needed.
  8. Reduce heat and cover pan. Let the chicken cook through for an additional 5-7 minutes, being careful not to burn bottoms.
  9. When your chicken has been cooked through, remove from heat, and cover with tin foil.
  10. In a small bowl, microwave 8 oz of cream cheese for 30 seconds. Add italian seasoning, garlic, oregano, salt and bullion and stir to combine.
  11. In your skillet, melt 1 TB butter. Add 1 can of cream of chicken, chicken broth, milk and seasoned cream cheese. Whisk over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Let cook for about 2 minutes. Pour noodles into sauce and mix until well coated.
  12. Cut your chicken into strips and place over your cooked pasta and sauce. ENJOY!
