1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken
- Pound the chicken breasts to about ½ inch thickness (for even cooking).
- In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station:
✅ Bowl 1: Flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
✅ Bowl 2: Beaten eggs.
✅ Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
2️⃣ Bread & Fry the Chicken
- Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook each breaded chicken breast for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a plate and keep warm while making the sauce.
3️⃣ Make the Parmesan Mushroom Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Simmer for 3–4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
- Pour the creamy Parmesan mushroom sauce over the crispy chicken.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese for a finishing touch.
- Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
