Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts: Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness if needed.
- Prepare the dredging station: Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko, ¼ cup Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into eggs, then coat in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the mushroom sauce: In the same skillet, cook mushrooms in butter until browned. Add garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, and Parmesan. Simmer until thickened.
- Finish the dish: Return the chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake the breaded chicken at 400°F for 5–10 minutes after pan-frying.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
- Substitute button mushrooms with shiitake or baby bella for deeper flavor.
