Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.

2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Dip chicken in egg, then dredge in flour mixture. Fry in hot oil until golden and cooked through.

3. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small pan. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in hot honey. Toss fried chicken bites in the glaze.

4. Cook fettuccine pasta until al dente. In a saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter, add Cajun seasoning and pour in heavy cream. Simmer, then add Parmesan. Stir until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Plate Alfredo pasta, top with glazed chicken bites, and roasted broccoli. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before breading for extra crispiness.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother Alfredo texture.

Toss chicken in the glaze just before serving to keep it crisp.
