Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk panko, flour and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning together in a shallow dish. Place egg in a separate shallow dish.
Sprinkle chicken evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip the cutlets in the egg, 1 at a time, letting excess drip off. Dredge the cutlets in the panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet; generously coat with cooking spray.

Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the cutlets and coat again with cooking spray. Continue baking until golden brown on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F, about 8 to 10 minutes more.
While cutlets bake, heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in shallot, garlic, tomato paste and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each Italian seasoning and pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture is fragrant and the shallot is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, 1/4 cup water and lemon zest, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen browned bits.

Reduce heat to medium. Add half-and-half and the remaining 1/4 cup water; simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in Parmesan until well combined. Transfer the cutlets to a platter and spoon the sauce over the top. Top with basil.
