Crispy Chicken

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 300 g sliced mushrooms button or Swiss brown
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

For Serving

  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced chives
  • Fresh parsley or green onions optional

Instructions
 

  • Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create 4 thin chicken cutlets.
  • Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Sprinkle flour over the chicken and lightly coat all sides.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over high heat.
  • Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until golden around the edges.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan to release flavor.
  • Pour in the remaining stock and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add heavy cream and reduce heat to medium.
  • Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs if preferred.
  • Add thyme or rosemary for extra herb flavor.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice, or roasted vegetables.
  • For a lighter option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Swiss brown mushrooms provide a deeper flavor.
