Elevate your dinner game with this wonderfully crisp chicken topped with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce thats simply irresistible! Perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
– 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Vegetable oil for frying
– 1 small garlic clove, minced
– 1/4 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, ensuring a good flavor throughout.
2. Prepare your breading station by placing the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in three separate bowls.
3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off before finally rolling in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
5. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165F 75C.
6. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, sautéing until the mushrooms are softened and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes.
8. Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and the remaining grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
9. To serve, place the crispy chicken on plates and generously spoon the creamy Parmesan mushroom sauce over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
