Ingredients

  • 3 ounces bread crumbs
  • 1-ounce grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons salad oil
  • 2 large whole boneless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3 ounces clarified butter
  • 6 ounces (1-inch diameter) mushrooms, sliced in 1/2
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Freshly ground salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1 pound trimmed leaf spinach, washed very well
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan; set aside. In small bowl, combine eggs and oil; beat well and set aside.

Cut diagonal slices through skin side of chicken breasts and pound lightly until meat is thin, careful not to tear skin. Flour chicken thoroughly and coat with egg/oil mixture, then with bread crumbs and cheese. Pat firmly and set aside on waxed paper.

Heat 1-ounce clarified butter in frying pan and add mushrooms, then add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cook about 7 minutes, then drain off excess butter. Add sherry and shake to heat through.

In another saucepan, melt fresh, salted butter and add washed (but not dried) spinach, 1 layer at a time, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook on medium heat for about 6 minutes, then drain immediately and keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat remaining clarified butter in large pan and fry chicken breasts on medium heat, about 4 minutes each side, add mushroom sauce and shake to heat through.

To serve, place pile of spinach on plate, cover with chicken and sauce.

    This was surprisingly easy to make, and was restaurant quality. I was too lazy to convert all of the measurements, so I just kind of estimated on all of them... and it surprisingly came out wonderfully! My dad's a chef (unfortunately I didn't inherit much of his cooking genes and I felt like I was eating a meal he made. I would definitely suggest this.

    I've been making this as "company fare" since the early 1970s and it's wonderful for quick dinner parties when you want to spend more time with your guests, because you can do so much of it ahead of time. Always gets raves.
