This Mushroom Swiss Chicken has a crispy Panko bread crumb and Italian seasoning crust pan fried in a cast iron skillet until golden brown, then smothered with buttery mushrooms and finished under the broiler to melt the Swiss Cheese. Ready in 20 minutes!
Use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Place the egg in a shallow flat bowl and whisk until combined.
Combine the Panko bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and salt in another shallow flat bowl.
Dip the chicken in egg, then in the bread crumb mixture and set aside on a plate.
In a cast iron skillet, cook and stir the portobello mushrooms over medium heat, in 1 tablespoon butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter.
Add the coated chicken and cook over medium heat for 3 - 5 minutes each side or until juices run clear.
Top each chicken breast with mushrooms and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Broil 4 inches from heat for about 1 - 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
