How To Make 

Smothered Chicken Cutlets 

with Mushrooms and Spinach

Cut the chicken breast in half. Place the chicken cutlet into a sip lock bag. Pound the chicken until it is thinner.

 Set aside.

Mix the Italian dressing mix, flour and seasons

 in a large shallow bowl.

With each individual cutlet, dip into the flour mixture, pat on both sides 

making sure that the cutlets are well covered.

In a large hot skillet add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, then cook the breaded chicken cutlets on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. The temperature should read 165 degrees.

Remove the cooked cutlets to a plate and set aside.

Add the butter to the grease and crumbles left in the skillet.

Stirring until the butter is melted and

 the crumbles lifted from the bottom of the skillet.

Place the sliced mushrooms and garlic into the hot butter mixture in the skillet. Cook the mushrooms and garlic on medium low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cover the skillet with the mushrooms and 

cook on low for 8 minutes or until tender.

Remove the mushrooms from the skillet

 to a holding plate, then set aside.

Add the fresh spinach to the

 hot skillet with the seasoned oil and butter to wilt the spinach.

Remove the spinach to a holding plate. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan Cheese and seasons to the sauce stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Add the cooked chicken cutlets to the sauce in the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the cutlets

 to make sure they are covered with the sauce.

Add the cooked mushrooms and spinach

 to the top of the sauced cutlets.

Place a lid on the skillet and cook on low for 10 minutes.

This amazing skillet of goodness is ready to serve.
