Ingredients

Breadcrumbs:

  • Pinch of sea salt and a dash of freshly ground white pepper to elevate the seasoning
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of herbaceous flavor
  • 1 tsp onion powder to add depth and complexity
  • 2 tsp garlic powder for a robust garlic undertone

Chicken:

  • 3 tsp unsalted butter for a luxurious touch
  • 2 large eggs beaten for a rich and velvety coating
  • 16 oz al dente cooked pasta noodles your preferred variety
  • 1.5 lb tender boneless chicken breasts ensuring succulence in every bite
  • Salt and white pepper to taste enhancing the overall flavor profile
  • 1-1.5 cups all-purpose flour for a light and crisp dusting

Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup luscious heavy whipping cream for a creamy texture
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the sauce
  • 2 tbsp finely minced garlic for a robust garlic infusion
  • 2 tbsp freshly minced parsley to add a pop of color and freshness
  • 3 tsp unsalted butter softened for a velvety finish
  • 1.5 cups rich unsalted butter for a decadent and silky sauce
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine for a subtle depth of flavor
  • Salt and white pepper to taste ensuring a perfectly balanced sauce
  • 2 tbsp finely minced shallots for a mild onion flavor

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.
