Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain and return to the pot to keep warm.
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
  3. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg.
  4. On a plate, mix 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  5. Dip chicken pieces into the beaten egg, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes total. Remove chicken to a platter and keep warm.
  8. In the same skillet, melt 2 more tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  9. Add sliced mushrooms (1/4 lb) and cook until tender and liquid has evaporated.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  11. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups milk and 1/4 cup dry sherry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
  12. Stir in 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  13. Remove 1 cup of the sauce and set aside in a small bowl.
  14. Toss the cooked fettuccine with the remaining sauce in the skillet until evenly coated.
  15. Arrange the fettuccine on a serving platter and place the chicken on top or beside it.
  16. Pour the reserved sauce over the chicken.
  17. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
