Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine corn flake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, and garlic salt in a shallow dish.
- Mix eggs and water in a separate bowl.
- Dip chicken breasts in the egg mixture, then roll in the crumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a skillet and brown the coated chicken on both sides.
- Remove chicken to a greased baking dish.
- Spoon drained mushrooms over the chicken.
- Melt butter and add lemon juice, then pour the mixture over the chicken and mushrooms.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in lemon juice and garlic for a few hours before preparing. If you don't have corn flake crumbs, crushed crackers or panko can work as substitutes. Make sure the skillet is hot enough to get a good sear on the chicken, as this helps lock in moisture and flavor. For a healthier option, try using air-fried chicken instead.
Serving Suggestions
These chicken cutlets are delightful served over a bed of rice or alongside roasted vegetables. Pair with a fresh salad for a light meal, or enjoy with a side of Baked Cheese Fries for a comforting twist. A drizzle of extra lemon juice can enhance the dish’s brightness, making it a perfect main course for family gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Galleria Chicken Cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
