Uncle Phil’s Chicken
(from Guinevere44’s recipe box)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless chicken breasts
- breadcrumbs
- garlic powder
- salt
- pepper
- parsley
- 1 egg
- vegetable oil
- 2 pkg chicken gravy mix
- 1 c white wine
- butter
Directions
-
You may want to flatten the breasts a bit if they are really thick or slice them through the middle. Dredge chicken in egg. (I season my egg with a bit of parsley flakes, salt, pepper and garlic powder – just a tip.) Next, dredge them in breadcrumbs. Heat up about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet/sauté pan. Add more oil as cooking if needed. Sauté the breasts until golden. (Don’t over cook them, keep the heat fairly low, they will be in the oven for a good 45 minutes and you don’t want them dry.) Save the drippings in the pan when you are done.
-
Place cutlets in a 9 × 13 pan.
-
I usually pour off a bit of the oil, leave about ½ T in the pan. Add the broth to the skillet, all the while stirring so that the bits will loosen a bit, add the wine and begin whisking in the two packets of gravy. Maintain a nice medium level of heat and don’t dump in the gravy to be sure you don’t get clumps. It should begin to thicken and bubble after a few minutes.
-
Sauté the sliced mushrooms in 1T of butter until cooked through sprinkles over cutlets. Then, pour the gravy mixture over the cutlets.
-
Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. I usually serve it over rice.
