Description
Golden Crispy Chicken with Parmesan Mushroom Sauce is a comforting skillet meal made with pan-seared chicken fillets and a rich, creamy mushroom sauce finished with fresh parmesan and garlic.
Ingredients
• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
• 10 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or Swiss brown)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
1. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 4 thin fillets.
2. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly dust with flour.
3. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook chicken for about 2.5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and cover to keep warm.
5. In the same pan, melt remaining butter and increase heat to high.
6. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden at the edges.
7. Add garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 more minute.
8. Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan. Let it bubble for 30 seconds until mostly evaporated.
9. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, and reduce for 1 minute.
10. Lower heat to medium, stir in cream, and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
11. Stir in parmesan and taste the sauce. Add seasoning as needed.
12. Return chicken to skillet and heat through for 30 seconds. Garnish with chives and serve hot.
Notes
– Use freshly grated parmesan for best melt and flavor.
– Substitute white wine with chicken stock if preferred.
– Store leftovers in the sauce to maintain moisture.
– Reheat gently in microwave or stovetop to prevent overcooking.
– Goes great with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
