Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or parsley (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick spray. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Coat each chicken breast in the mixture, pressing gently for an even layer.

- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and garlic until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
