Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup portobello or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon rosemary, minced
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 6

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, prepare the mushroom rosemary sauce. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until tender.

Step 8

Add garlic and rosemary to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

To prepare the steamed broccoli, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan fitted with a steaming basket. Add the broccoli florets to the basket, cover, and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 12

Plate the chicken Parmesan, then spoon the mushroom rosemary sauce over it. Serve with the steamed broccoli on the side and enjoy!
