Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each breast in half horizontally to create 4 thinner cutlets.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Cover to keep warm.

Step 6

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the gravy cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the mushroom gravy over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
