Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine eggs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, milk, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and refrigerate for two hours.
- Bread each chicken breast with bread crumbs and fry in oil until golden brown.
- Remove excess oil from the pan, then add a little water, white wine, salt, pepper, parsley, and canned mushrooms to the remaining oil, cooking for a few minutes.
- Pour the mushroom and wine mixture over the cooked chicken breasts and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, try marinating the chicken overnight instead of just two hours. You can substitute the white wine with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version, or use a dry vermouth for a unique twist. If you prefer a lighter dish, consider using low-fat chicken or omitting the breading entirely. Also, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Chicken Chablis with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A fresh green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette pairs beautifully with this dish. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside some crusty bread. This dish also complements well with a glass of the same white wine used in the recipe.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Chicken Chablis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Cover the skillet to retain warmth and heat until warmed through, ensuring the chicken stays juicy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken instead of boneless?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but the cooking time will need to be adjusted. Bone-in pieces generally require longer cooking to ensure they are fully cooked through. Make sure to check the internal temperature reaches 165°F before serving.
What can I use instead of Parmesan cheese?
If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute it with Pecorino Romano for a saltier flavor, or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option that still offers a cheesy taste. Grated mozzarella can also work, but it will be less flavorful.
Is it necessary to use garlic powder?
While garlic powder adds a nice depth of flavor, you can certainly omit it if you prefer a milder taste. Alternatively, fresh minced garlic can be used for a more robust flavor, just adjust the quantity to your liking.
