How to make Chicken with Mushroom Cream Sauce
For the crispy Chicken
Gently pound the chicken between two slices of plastic wrap until about ½ inch thick.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Prepare 3 shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first. Place the egg in the second and whisk until beaten. Place the Panko bread crumbs in the third.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour and shake off the excess.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg.
Then coat each chicken piece well in the Panko bread crumbs.
Preheat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Click for a medium frying pan.
Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes on each side.
Place the chicken pieces on a wire rack over a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven set at 200 degrees F. Click for a wire rack or a baking sheet.
For the Mushroom Parmesan Sauce
Add the broth to the same skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir to loosen browned bits from the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream and mushrooms. Boil and stir for about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and black pepper. Stir the sauce and cook until heated through.
Serve the mushroom Parmesan sauce over the chicken.
