To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken in the beaten eggs, then coat them in the Panko breadcrumbs mixed with the Parmesan cheese. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the risotto. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat with the oil and vegetables. Add the white wine and stir until it is absorbed. Add the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring constantly until each cup is absorbed before adding the next. Continue cooking and stirring until the rice is tender and the risotto is creamy. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until melted and well combined.
To serve, spoon the risotto onto plates and top with the Parmesan-crusted chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
This Parmesan-Crusted Chicken and Mushroom Risotto is a perfect combination of crispy, creamy, and savory flavors.
