Step 2: Sprinkle freshly ground pepper on both sides of the chicken cutlets.

Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4: Add the chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes on one side until browned.

Recipe Tips & Notes

Tip: If you can't find chicken cutlets, you can easily make your own. Purchase four 5-ounce chicken breasts, remove the tenders, and trim the fat. Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it with a rolling pin, meat mallet, or heavy skillet until its about inch thick.
