Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness. Coat in seasoned flour, then dip in egg mixture, and finally coat with a parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, heat butter and olive oil. Sauté mushrooms until tender. Add garlic and cook briefly. Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream, thyme, and parmesan, stirring until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble & Serve: Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and let it simmer briefly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
