Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts in half (horizontally) and pound them using a meat mallot, rolling pin, a glass mason jar, or whatever you can get your hands on. You do this so the chicken cutlets are evenly sized especially in terms of thickness so they cook at a consistent temperature. 1/4 of an inch to 1/2 of an inch is ideal.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Place an oven-safe pan (see notes) on the stove on medium-high heat and olive oil. When hot, add the chicken cutlets. Saute and sear each side for 3-4 minutes each until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
If needed, add additional olive oil to the pan. Add the onions and mushrooms. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until translucent and fragrant. Add the garlic and stir.
Step 5
Pour in the beef broth and Maderia wine. Adjust the heat to medium. Deglaze the pan by using a wooden spoon to scoop up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. These bits will add flavor to the sauce.
Step 6
Pour in the heavy cream and stir.
Step 7
To thicken the sauce combine the flour and water in a separate bowl. Stir until fully combined and thick. Add the slurry to the pan and stir continuously. The sauce will thicken after several minutes.
Step 8
While waiting for the sauce to thicken, preheat the oven to Broil.
Step 9
Return the chicken to the pot with the sauce. Top the dish with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 10
Broil for 2-4 minutes or until the cheese has browned.
Step 11
Serve with asparagus, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.
