Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut diagonally into cutlets
  • 3 tbsp. grapeseed oil
  • flour, for dredging
  • salt and pepper, to taste

For the Mushroom Sauce

  • 8 oz. mushrooms, cleaned and thick-sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • ½ cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • On a cutting board, pound the chicken breasts with a mallet. Then, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the flour to a bowl and dredge each piece of chicken in it.
  • Add the oil to a large pot and place over medium heat. Place each chicken breast in the pot and fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a separate plate.
  • Add the butter and onion, allowing them to cook and brown a little. Then, add the mushrooms and wine. Stir. Once they’ve caramelized and softened, add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the cream and then the Parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to low.
  • Return the chicken to the pot and cover it with the mushroom cream sauce, continuing to simmer until it’s fully cooked through.
  • Plate and serve with your favorite side. Enjoy.

HELPFUL TIPS & TRICKS

Chicken thickness. It’s important to pound the chicken so that it is the same thickness throughout. This ensures that the meat will cook evenly.
Caramelization. Be patient and let the onions and mushrooms caramelize. This step adds a lot of flavor to the dish.
Browning. Using a paper towel, dab away any excess moisture on the chicken breasts to encourage browning during the frying stage. Also, do not move the chicken while it’s cooking, except when you flip it. Allowing it to remain still during cooking is another trick for better browning.
