Crunchy Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Pan Gravy

Here's another fabulously comforting recipe for cool Autumn nights that has the appearance of being high in fat and calories but really isn't. The crunch of the chicken is beautifully offset by the luscious creaminess of the sauce made with Philly Cream Cheese.

Serve with my roasted garlic horseradish potatoes and settle in for a lovely dinner just like grandma used to make!

Prep Time: 10 min/ Cook Time: 30 min/ Serves 2


Ingredients

• 2 butterflied boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 /2 Tbsp paprika
• 1 Tbsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Directions

1. Mix the breadcrumbs, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
2. Dredge the chicken breast in flour, dip in the beaten egg, and then coat in the bread crumb mixture making sure to cover all over. You can cover and refrigerate at this point to cook later.
3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350. Spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray and place chicken breasts on top. Spray chicken with a little additional cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes or until internal temperature of 165 degrees.
4. Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms in a non stick pan coated with cooking spray over medium high heat. When they are golden brown, add the chicken stock and thyme. Bring to the boil and reduce stock by half. Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese and pepper. Stir well until everything is well blended. Add pepper. Cover and keep warm until the chicken is cooked. 
5. Serve sauce drizzled over the chicken.
