Ingredients

• 4 pieces veal cutlets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the veal cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Lightly dredge the veal cutlets in flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until butter is melted and foamy.

Step 4

Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Work in batches if needed. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, keeping them warm.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet.

Step 6

Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2 minutes, stirring until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

Step 8

Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and loosen any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Add the chicken broth and thyme leaves, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes rich and creamy.

Step 11

Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spoon the mushroom sauce over the top, and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 12

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
