Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board lined with plastic wrap. Cover the chicken with another sheet of plastic wrap and using a meat hammer lightly pound the chicken breasts.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with flour seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, egg wash and Italian seasoned bread crumbs with parmesan cheese or romano cheese added for extra flavor.
Step 3
Coat the chicken breasts with seasoned flour. Then place them in the egg wash and finally in the bread crumbs. Make sure you get a good coating of each ingredient on the chicken breasts, completely coating them.
Step 4
Heat a large saute pan on high heat and add about half an inch of vegetable oil. Carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the oil using tongs. Add as many as you can into your pan without crowding them. Let the cutlets saute until they get a nice golden brown color.

Using tongs turn them over and saute the other side until golden brown.
Step 6
Drain the fried chicken cutlets on baking racks over sheet pans (or baking sheets).

Saute the mushrooms in olive oil until fully cooked (drain any extra oil from the pan). It’s okay to have some liquid remain in the mushrooms.
Step 9
Add the spinach to the top of the chicken cutlet, then top the spinach with the sauteed mushrooms.
