Mortons Steakhouse Chicken Christopher Recipe

If you’ve ever dined at Morton’s Steakhouse, you’ll know their famous Chicken Christopher, a tender, breaded chicken breast served with a rich garlic butter cream sauce and pasta. I’ve recreated this restaurant classic at home, and the result is just as indulgent and satisfying. With crispy golden chicken, velvety sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta, this recipe is the ultimate comfort meal you can make right in your own kitchen.

Notes

Required Kitchen Tools

To make this copycat Morton’s Chicken Christopher as close to the steakhouse version as possible, I recommend having the following tools ready:
  1. Large Sauté Pan – For pan-frying the breaded chicken until golden brown.
  2. Medium Saucepan – To prepare the rich garlic butter cream sauce.
  3. Mixing Bowls – For dredging the chicken in flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs.
  4. Whisk – Essential for creating a smooth, velvety sauce.
  5. Tongs or Spatula – To flip the chicken without breaking the crust.
  6. Pasta Pot – To cook your choice of pasta for serving.
  7. Wire Rack or Paper Towels – For draining excess oil from the cooked chicken.
With these ingredients and tools prepped, you’re ready to move on to the fun part: cooking and layering those rich flavors.
