Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
Coating and Seasoning:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sauce and Finishing:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a precise 400°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even cooking.
- Combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup parmesan, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a shallow mixing container.
- Create a breading station with three separate dishes: spread ½ cup flour in the first, crack 2 beaten eggs in the second, and place the seasoned breadcrumb mixture in the third.
- Pat your chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels, then carefully dredge each piece first in flour, next in egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange the breaded chicken on a lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to ensure crisp edges.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven and roast for exactly 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and displays a gorgeous golden-brown exterior.
- While chicken bakes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté 2 cups sliced mushrooms until they turn tender and release their moisture.
- Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the mushroom skillet, stirring gently until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
- Transfer the crispy chicken to serving plates and generously spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley across the dish for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Swap regular breadcrumbs for panko to get an extra crispy chicken coating that stays crunchy longer.
- Fresh mushrooms work best, but frozen can substitute if you drain them thoroughly before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check chicken reaches 165°F internally, ensuring perfect doneness without overcooking.
- For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with Greek yogurt or half-and-half to reduce calories while maintaining creamy sauce texture.
