This garlic and parsley chicken is a fabulous recipe adapted from Jacques Pepin. I like to dredge the cutlets in cornstarch rather than flour. It helps to give them a crispier coating! It also keeps this dish gluten free for those looking for a fabulous gluten free meal. Feel free to omit the mushrooms if they are not your thing!
The chicken above was prepared without the mushrooms for those who do not love mushrooms!
If you wanted to make more of a “sauce” to serve over pasta, you could add some chicken broth at the end and let it cook down a few minutes mmmmmm!

*** UPDATE:
To make with shrimp, too….pan fry the shrimp after the chicken and toss right in with the butter! Mmmmm!!!
You can also make this with scallops!
