Assemble all the ingredients.

Set the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap, or inside a cut-open zip-top bag, and pound with a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.
- 3
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and cayenne, then move to a large plate. Sift flour over both sides until fully coated. Transfer to a clean plate.
- 4
Brush any extra flour off the plate. Sprinkle about 1/4 inch of panko over the surface of the plate.
- 5
Pour the egg over the floured chicken and use a brush to coat the meat evenly. Flip and repeat on the other side. After the chicken is well coated with egg, lift each piece with tongs, let the excess drip off, and place it on the panko-lined plate.
- 6
Generously sprinkle panko over the top of the chicken and press it in with your hands or tongs. Flip the chicken, sprinkle more panko on top, and repeat until the chicken is fully breaded all over.
- 7
Lightly sprinkle the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top of the chicken and press it into the breading. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- 8
Move the chicken to a plate dusted with more panko. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to pan-fry.
- 9
For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over high heat; add the mushrooms and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
- 10
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the flour. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 2 minutes.
- 11
Add the Marsala and lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour in the chicken broth and increase heat to medium-high. Season with black pepper and cayenne and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and thickened. Keep hot until needed or let cool and reheat when needed. Before serving, you can stir in some freshly chopped parsley.
- 12
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the breaded chicken and reduce heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- 13
Serve right away with the Marsala sauce underneath or spooned on top.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
