Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork or chicken cutlets (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cutlets: Place cutlets between plastic wrap and pound to half-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Dredging Station: Set up dishes with flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs. Dip each cutlet in flour, then egg, followed by breadcrumbs.
  3. Sauté: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook cutlets until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side). Keep warm.
  4. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté onions until translucent. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook until browned. Stir in chicken broth and simmer briefly.
  5. Add Cream: Mix in heavy cream, allowing it to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Combine: Return schnitzels to the skillet, coating them in sauce for about two minutes before serving.
