Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts sliced into 4 thin cutlet
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms or white [sliced]
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste to taste
  • Fresh herbs to garnish

Instructions

  • Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Then dredge them in flour.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the butter to the pan, leave to melt, then add the sliced mushrooms, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the mushrooms stirring occasionally, until all the water is cooked off and the mushrooms have a golden brown edge.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken stock, scraping up any stuck bits to the bottom of the pan. Give it a good mix and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce is reduced by half and thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Whisk in the cream and parmesan and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and leave it for another 5 minutes in the sauce or until it is well-cooked and thickens.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving (parsley, basil, or chives).
