Chicken Breast: The perfect protein to absorb and complement all of the flavors going on in the dish. Egg: Acts as a binding agent to help the breading stick to the chicken cutlets. Heavy Whipping Cream: Gives the dish a creaminess and depth of flavor and helps thicken the gravy. All-Purpose Flour: Helps the breading stick to the chicken and contributes to the thickening of the gravy. Breadcrumbs: Provide a crunch to the breading of the chicken and a warm flavor. Garlic Powder: Gives the dish a wonderful savory flavor that balances the creaminess of the sauce. Oregano: A vibrant herb that adds a bright flavor. Onion Powder: Enhances the depth of flavor and provides a consistent taste in each bite. Salt: Complements each flavor in the dish, enhancing the overall taste and comfort appeal. Pepper: Adds a note of spice and enhances the other flavors. Olive Oil: Keeps the chicken moist and tender during the cooking process. Yellow Onion: Provides a sweet and savory flavor with a soft and tender texture. Mushrooms: These perfectly absorb all of the flavors in the dish and add a wonderful texture that complements the chicken.
Gravy
Butter: Helps thicken the gravy and adds a depth of flavor to the sauce. All-Purpose Flour: This flour is used to create a roux, which combines the flavor of the browned onions and will make the sauce thick. Beef Broth: The base of the gravy adds a rich, savory flavor. Heavy Whipping Cream: Gives the gravy its creamy texture and flavor. Worcestershire Sauce: This is the secret ingredient that will make this dish delicious, and no one will understand how! Mustard Powder: Adds a gentle heat and warmth to the gravy. Salt and Pepper: To taste!

Chicken cutlets: You can buy chicken cutlets at the store and use a meat tenderizer to pound them thinner before breading them. The cutlets should be just about ½ – ¾ inches thick, which will help the breading stay on. Broth options: I love using beef broth for this recipe, it adds a bit more punch of flavor and depth. However, you can substitute chicken broth. Both options work well, so choose the one that best suits your taste. Pairing ideas: This dish pairs wonderfully with Mashed Potatoes, rice, or Classic Biscuits.
