If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
If using filets mignon or sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.
Mince chives.Cover chicken with plastic wrap and use a heavy object to pound to an even 1/4" thickness. Gallon bags make clean up easier and are made of thicker plastic. If you don’t have a disposable bag, use plastic wrap. -
2 Bread the Chicken
Evenly spread panko on a plate.
Uncover chicken and pat dry. Season both sides with savory seasoning and 1/4 tsp. salt.Coat one side of each chicken breast evenly with mayonnaise. Place chicken, mayonnaise-side down, onto panko, pressing gently to adhere to one side. -

Add chicken, panko-side down, to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until browned, 2-3 minutes.Reduce heat to medium. Flip chicken and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes.Remove from burner.While chicken cooks, continue recipe. -

Stir occasionally until rice is toasted, 1-2 minutes.Add mushroom base and 1 cup boiling water from other medium pot to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water.

Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done.
