Breaded Chicken Chop in Mushroom Sauce

Hhhmmmmm.....a nice, simple meal. Breaded chicken chop is a general favourite amongst all and especially with children. The little special thing about my chicken chop is that I add Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mix.

An absolutely yummy recipe.


Ingredients for Chicken Chop:-
- Chicken breast fillets (4)
- 2 tbsps Parmesan
- 2 eggs, beaten with 1 tbsp water

1. Combine breadcrumbs with Parmesan on a plate.
2. Pound chicken breast with a mallet or rolling pin until about 5mm thick.
3. Dip into egg mixture and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. You may put it in a lined baking tray and refrigerate for 10 mins or you may just fry it straight which I did.
5. Lay chicken chop on kitchen towel to absorb the excess oil.

Ingredients for Mushroom Sauce
- 250g button mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 3 shallots, finely chopped
- 200ml cream
- 125ml white wine
- 30g butter
- 1 crushed garlic
- pinch of nutmeg
- salt & pepper to taste

1. Melt the butter over a gentle heat in a medium sized saucepan.
2. Add chopped shallots and fry for 3-4 mins
3.Add the garlic and fry for another 2 mins
4. Add mushrooms and season with salt & pepper.
5. Stir all the ingredients until mushrooms softens and darken.
6. Then add wine and turn up the fire and continue to stir until wine is reduced by 2/3.
7. With low fire, stir the cream and nutmeg.

You may want to add some fries or jacket potatoes with some steam vegetables to have a balanced meal.
