Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Combine Ingredients: Dredge chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs mixed with half the Parmesan.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Ensure the skillet is hot but not smoking.
- Assemble the Dish: Place coated chicken in the skillet, cooking 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
