Ingredients

3 large Chicken breasts boneless, skinless, sliced in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon All purpose seasoning like seasoned salt
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
1 cup All purpose flour to lightly bread the chicken
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Garlic minced
8 oz Mushrooms white or cremini, sliced
1/2 cup Chicken broth or water with chicken bouillon
1 cup Heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded or grated
Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish optional

Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with all purpose seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture to lightly bread it. Set the chicken aside with the breading for about 2-3 minutes before frying so the flour can set.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown (about 4–5 minutes per side). Do not overcrowd the skillet. Once golden brown, remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly so that they do not burn. Mix in the garlic and saute with the mushrooms for about 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the chicken broth, then pour in the heavy cream. Add about 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, taste it and add more to your taste. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and smothered in the sauce.
Serve and enjoy:
Top with shredded parmesan cheese and cover the skillet so that it can melt. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies!
