Ingredients

  • For The Chicken:
  • 4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless about 1.5 pounds
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Using a very sharp knife, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally then Put the chicken breasts on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about a quarter-inch thick.
  • Put the flour in a shallow platter and season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  • Dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoned flour, and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off.
  • Add the coated chicken to the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once. Remove to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
  • To the same pan or skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper and add the shallot, cook until soft and then add the garlic and cook another minute.
  • Add the wine, bring to a boil and allow to reduce by half.
  • Stir in cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue cooking until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the parmesan cheese and parsley. Let it to melt through the sauce for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Return the chicken to the pan. Taste for seasoningt and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • When pan-frying, don’t skimp on the oil. You need enough to get a golden brown finish.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator around 20 minutes before you’re ready to cook. This allows the chicken to cook evenly.
  • Always wash your hands well after handling raw chicken throughout the cooking process. This helps to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Keep the heat at a constant, high temperature this stops the flour from absorbing the oil and becoming soggy.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan.  This causes the chicken to steam instead of fry and causes the coating to become soggy. It’s better to fry in batches.
