Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 onion chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp thyme
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter and sauté onions and garlic until softened. Add mushrooms and cook until browned.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in cream, thyme, and salt and pepper.
Let the gravy thicken, then pour over the crispy chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier alternative. The gravy can be made ahead and reheated when needed.
