  • Slice chicken breast into smaller fillets and season with salt and pepper. Coat fillets in beaten egg, then in panko.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add fillets and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter. When melted, add onion and leek. Cook for 2 minutes, then add mushrooms. Saute for 5 minutes, then add half-and-half. Cook until sauce has reduced a bit, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken on top of the sauce and cook until heated through. Serve immediately.
