6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups & 1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon roasted garlic, minced
1 cup white wine
1 ½ cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound linguine
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup roma tomatoes, cored & diced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Potato Crust
1 ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
¼ cup melted butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup parsley, chopped
1 small potato, peeled & grated
Salt & pepper to taste 

1. Mix all ingredients for Potato Crust in a bowl and set aside.

2. Mix 1 ½ cups flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.

3. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Cook chicken breasts 2 at a time over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Add more oil for each
batch as necessary.

4. Place cooked chicken breasts on a baking sheet or dish and top with potato crust mixture. Transfer baking sheet to a pre-heated broiler until golden brown (1-2 minutes).

5. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

6. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a sauce pan. Add roasted garlic, cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and wine and bring to a boil. Add cream, parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon parsley, and tomatoes.  Sauce is done when it is bubbling throughout and begins to thicken.

7. Coat pasta with sauce, then top with chicken and remaining sauce.  Garnish with chopped parsley
