Ingredients
– 3 large chicken breasts (cut lengthwise into 6 thin cutlets)
– Salt and pepper for seasoning
– Flour for dredging
– Olive oil for pan-frying
– Butter for pan-frying
– 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
– 4 tablespoons butter for the sauce
– 2 tablespoons flour for the sauce
– 2 cloves minced garlic
– 1/2 cup dry sherry
– 1.5 cups heavy or whipping cream
– 6 slices Muenster cheese or a similar mild melting cheese
Instructions
1-First, prepare all ingredients: Wash the 3 large chicken breasts and cut them lengthwise into 6 thin cutlets, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
2-Second, dredge the chicken cutlets in flour to coat them lightly, setting the stage for a golden sear.
3-Third, heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil and butter, then pan-fry the chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4-Fourth, in the same skillet, sautรฉ the 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms until they’re tender, then place them over and around the chicken in a casserole dish.
5-Fifth, for the sauce, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan, stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 cloves of minced garlic, then add 1/2 cup of dry sherry and 1.5 cups of heavy or whipping cream. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6-Sixth, pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms in the casserole dish, top with 6 slices of Muenster cheese, cover with foil, and bake at 375ยฐF for 20 minutes.
7-Final step: Remove the foil and broil briefly to brown the cheese, then let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. For adaptations, adjust ingredients like using vegan cheese for dairy-free versions.
