👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

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.
