🥄 Texture
Crunchy exterior on the chicken cutlet and many fries, with soft, al dente pasta coated in melted cheese. The dish balances crisp fried elements with creamy, slightly sticky pasta for a satisfying contrast.
👃 Aroma
Warm fried and toasty notes from the chicken and fries dominate, joined by a savory, cheesy richness. A faint sweet-tang from the ketchup-mayo drizzle and a mild oiliness round out the scent profile.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Crisp pilsner or cold lager; alternatively a dry, sparkling white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc). For a non-alcoholic option, sparkling lemonade or iced tea with lemon cuts the richness.
🥗 Side Dishes
Simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette; pickled vegetables or dill pickles to provide acidity and contrast; or a light coleslaw or roasted seasonal vegetables.

Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- 2
While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place frozen chicken cutlets in the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- 3
In the same pan, add the frozen french fries with a little more oil if needed. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
- 4
Return the cooked pasta to the pan with the fries. Sprinkle shredded cheese over everything and stir gently until the cheese melts and coats the pasta and fries (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5
Divide the pasta mixture into bowls, top each with a chicken cutlet, and drizzle with the ketchup-mayonnaise mixture. Serve immediately while hot.
