I bought whole boneless skinless chicken breasts on Saturday morning. I took them out this morning for this evening's meal. Then I searched for "chicken cutlets" on Epicurious.com.
This is what I found:
Ingredients
- 4 (1/3-inch-thick) chicken cutlets (1 1/2 lb)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 or 5 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 1/2 extra-large chicken-bouillon cube, crumbled
- Garnish: finely chopped fresh chives
- Accompaniment: rice or mashed potatoes
Preparation
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat
oil and butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat
until foam subsides. Brown chicken on both sides in 2 batches, about 3
minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
Add shallot to skillet and cook, stirring, until tender,
about 1 minute. Add wine and deglaze by boiling over high heat,
scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half. Stir in cream, tomatoes,
tarragon, and bouillon cube, then simmer, stirring, until tomatoes are
softened and sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper.
Return chicken, with any juices accumulated on plate, to
skillet and simmer until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
Serve immediately.
Your dinner sounds way better than mine. I'll probably have some fast food mess since this is my busy time at work and I'm too lazy to deal with anything else.
