Creamy Mushroom Chicken Cutlets
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Mushroom Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Prep the Chicken: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add Broth and Cream: Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine: Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over them. Cook for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
Serve: Plate the chicken, spoon over the creamy mushroom sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
