Ingredients
thin cut chicken breast cutlets 8
(unbleached) white flour about 1/2 cup
heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup
lemon juice 1/2 lemon
salt and black pepper
extra-vergin olive oil (or butter) 1/4 cup enough to cover the pan bottom
dry white wine ( Orvieto or any Pinot Grigio) 1/3 cup
(opt.) black sesame seeds or poppy seeds for decoration
Directions
If you bought the whole breasts cut them into thin slices. Flour the meat. If you don’t own a mallet you can flatten the slices by using your fist.
Cover a large pan with olive oil (I prefer X olive oil to butter, it’s healthier). Add the floured slices to the pan and cook them on low-medium on each sides until golden-brown. You can cover the pan with a lid to keep them softer. Without lid they’ll become crispier.
When completely cooked (about 10 minutes on each part) add salt, pepper and 1/3 c. wine.
Let the wine evaporate (for a few minutes until you don’t smell its scent anymore) and then add cream and lemon juice or lemon zest. Simmer for a few minutes on low and serve immediately.
Here served with a green salad dressed with Vinaigrette and brown rice/quinoa on the side.
NOTE.: you can prepare the meat in advance and add the cream and juice at the last minute. Leftovers (with cream) stay in the fridge only for a couple of days and can be heated up on a low fire covered with a lid. You may need to add some milk to the sauce to make it looser.
