Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken breasts — Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly and remain tender.
- Fresh mushrooms — Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt before slicing them.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra crispy crust, you can double coat the chicken cutlets by dipping them in the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs twice.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream in the mushroom sauce.
- Add a splash of white wine to the mushroom sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve the Kurze with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
- Leftover Kurze can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day. Reheat it in the oven to maintain its crispy texture.
Serving advice
Serve the Kurze with a generous spoonful of mushroom sauce on top of each chicken cutlet. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Pair it with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
Presentation advice
Arrange the chicken cutlets on a platter and drizzle the mushroom sauce over them. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for an elegant touch. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a visually appealing presentation.
