Then add all purpose flour to a bowl and generously add salt and pepper to the flour Dredge the cutlets into the flour and set aside In a pan with butter & olive oil sauté the chicken and DONT MESS WITH IT! Let it brown on each side! This’ll take about 5-10 minutes. Set the chicken aside. Then discard a little bit of the oil if it’s very full (leave about 2 tbsp of oil) but do NOT clean out the pan. You need the flavors of the chicken in the pan. Make a flour paste: mix together 2 Tbsp. Of flour with 2 tbsp.

Tips & Tricks:

• Chicken breasts: purchase chicken breasts and butterfly them before you start preparing, cover with plastic wrap and pound them so they are even.

• As with all proteins, make sure your chicken cutlets are patted dry of any moisture and at room temperature before preparing. This will result in juicy moist breaded cutlets.

• When browning, make sure you do NOT move the meat around in the skillet. Let the meat brown in peace! =-) Don’t mess with it! About 5 minutes per side.
