Instructions
Chicken
- Prepare 2 large chicken breasts, by slicing the breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner cuts of chicken.
- Whisk together 1 egg and ½ cup heavy whipping cream in a bowl until well combined.
- Combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a separate bowl.
- Next, working with one cutlet at a time, coat the chicken in the egg mixture, and then allow any excess liquid to drip off before moving on to the next step.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly on all sides.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Gravy
- Remove any burnt bits from the bottom of the pan, then add 1 small yellow onion, diced, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the pan. Saute until the onions are translucent and tender. Remove the mushrooms and onions from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add ¼ cup butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in ¼ cup all-purpose flour to create a thick paste. Slowly add 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup heavy whipping cream to the roux, continually whisking as you add.
- Once the gravy is smooth and combined, whisk in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon ground mustard, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the onions and mushrooms, then add the chicken back to the pan. Coat the chicken in the sauce and serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.
