Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork or chicken cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams White mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the pork or chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Season both sides of the cutlets with salt, pepper, and paprika, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Sear the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 8

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.

Step 10

Lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 11

Return the schnitzels to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over them. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with your choice of side, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a light salad.
