The first time I went to The Cheesecake Factory I fell in love with the food, the look of the place, the cheesecake and well.. the food. One of my favorite dishes there is the Louisiana Chicken Pasta. I tried and tried to duplicate the taste of it, and I think I’ve finally done it.
Here’s what the Cheesecake Factory says this about their Louisiana Chicken Pasta: Parmesan Crusted Chicken Served Over Pasta with Mushrooms, Peppers and Onions in a Spicy New Orleans Sauce. **Just a little note.. I’m not crazy about mushrooms.. so mine doesn’t have the mushrooms.
Louisiana Chicken via the eBay Queen.
Here’s what you need:
Chicken:
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup of milk
1 egg
Cajun Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
1 small red bell pepper
1 small yellow red pepper
1/2 a medium red onion (or any color)
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (I usually add more for taste later)
2 cups of milk ( you could use cream .. but I have found milk is lower fat and tastes the same)
1 box of chicken broth
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 box of bow tie pasta
salt and pepper to taste.
Here’s what you need… I realize I have more than 6 chicken
breasts.. there.. but I’m cooking for my family.. and they eat a lot. 
Flatten or piard the chicken. To do this, Wrap 1 chicken breast in plastic
wrap or put it in a zip lock bag and take your frustrations out on it.
Mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and flour. In another
dish, mix milk and egg together. This is the time I get my oil in my
frying pan to start cooking the chicken.
Dip the flattened chicken in the bread crumbs..
Then into the egg and then back into the bread crumbs.
I like a good crust on mine, and find that a double dip in the crumbs
does the trick.
Put the chicken in the hot oil and cook until golden brown.
Here’s a little tip.. I cook my chicken first and put it on a rack (with
a cookie sheet under the rack) in a 180 degree oven to keep it warm until
the vegetables and pasta are done. Can you see the nuggets? I make
chicken nuggets for the monkeys…
On to the Pasta and Sauce…
Now is the time I put the water on to boil…. and start cooking the pasta.
Chop up the peppers, onion and mince the garlic.
**I really like to use red peppers and onions because I think it
looks prettier.. but all I had was orange and yellow peppers with
a white onion.. so it’s not as pretty as I think it could be. But
still tastes AWESOME!
Melt butter in a large pan.
Add garlic, peppers and onions and saute.
Add flour and
