Ingredients
Scale
For the Crispy Chicken:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half or pounded to ½-inch thickness)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
For the Parmesan Mushroom Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced; cremini, button, or baby bella)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry, then slice them in half horizontally or pound them to an even ½-inch thickness.
- Set Up the Breading Station:
- Place the flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a third.
- Bread the Chicken:
- Dredge each chicken piece in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Make the Parmesan Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Place the crispy chicken on a serving plate and spoon the Parmesan mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
- Serve warm with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of roasted vegetables.
