Categories: Chicken

Ingredients

  • Chicken Cutlets:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko
  • 6 butterflied chicken cutlets
  • Olive oil
  • Mushroom-Sage Sauce:
  • Olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 sage leaves, chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 oz. mascarpone
  • 3 tbsp minced chives
  • Shaved Parmesan, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200.

  2. Make the chicken: Set up a breading station: In a medium bowl, place the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. In a third medium bowl, place the panko.

  3. Dredge a chicken cutlet in flour. Shake off the excess flour and then submerge in the egg, shaking off the excess. Dredge in the panko, coating the cutlet well. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cutlets.

  4. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches as needed, add the breaded cutlets and cook for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown, crispy and cooked through. Immediately season with salt and pepper. Remove the cutlets to a clean baking sheet and place them in the oven to keep warm.

  5. Prepare the sauce: Carefully clean out the pan of any burned bits. Heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender. Add the garlic and sage and cook just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest and deglaze the pan with the lemon juice and wine. Cook for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in the mascarpone.

  6. To serve, arrange the chicken on a platter and spoon the mushroom sauce on top. Garnish with the chives and shaved Parmesan.
