Crispy golden chicken schnitzel served with rich and creamy mushroom gravy for a comforting, hearty, and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • For the chicken schnitzel:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • For the mushroom gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. For the gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned.
  6. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer until thickened.
  8. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer until smooth and rich.
  9. Serve schnitzel topped with warm mushroom gravy.

Notes

  • Bake breaded chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes for a lighter option.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Use cremini, button, or portobello mushrooms.
  • Store schnitzel and gravy separately for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat chicken in the oven to maintain crispiness.
