Ingredients

  • 4-6 chicken breasts, butterflied for thinness
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 12 tablespoons Romano cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup white wine
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken:

    • Butterfly the chicken breasts to ensure they are thin.
    • Lightly season each piece with salt and pepper.
    • Dust the chicken breasts with flour.
  2. Prepare Batter:

    • In a bowl, combine the eggs and grated Romano cheese to create a thin batter. Avoid making it too thick as it may burn during frying.
  3. Cook Chicken and Mushrooms:

    • Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Fry the chicken breasts and mushrooms together until they turn golden brown, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
    • Add minced garlic during the last minute of cooking and sauté briefly.
    • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare Sauce:

    • Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter.
    • In the same skillet, add butter and melt it.
    • Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, allowing it to reduce slightly.
    • Add heavy cream to the skillet and cook over high heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Combine and Serve:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce.
    • Heat through briefly.
    • Serve the Chicken Tosca immediately, garnishing with chopped parsley and additional grated Romano cheese if desired.
