Instructions
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, white pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Place the flour in a third shallow dish and season with salt and white pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture to lightly coat it on both sides.
Then dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it evenly.
Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even and generous coating on all sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tsp of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add in the coated chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the garlic butter sauce by heating a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Then add in the white wine and let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Once the wine has reduced by half, add in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Gradually whisk in the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, minced parsley and shallots, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fully combined and the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
Serve the cooked chicken with al dente pasta noodles and top with the creamy garlic butter sauce for a luxurious and indulgent meal that is sure to impress.
Notes
– To really bring out the flavor of the mushrooms, try adding a splash of white wine or sherry to the sauce while it is simmering.– If you don’t have chicken broth, you can substitute a low-sodium vegetable broth or even water.– If you’d like a thicker sauce, you can mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the sauce while it is simmering.– This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.– To make this dish vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken for extra mushrooms or a plant-based protein.
