Add 2 cups of heavy cream and ½ cup parmesan cheese, then whisk for 6 to 8 minutes until the sauce thickens, seasoning with salt and pepper.

3-Slice the fried chicken into bite-sized pieces once it’s cooled slightly.

4-Toss the cooked pasta with the Alfredo sauce and reserved pasta water for extra creaminess.

5-Top the pasta with the crispy chicken pieces and mix gently.
