Description
A simple yet elegant dish featuring juicy chicken cutlets seared to a golden brown, complemented by sautéed shallots and savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the seasoned chicken cutlets to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the sliced shallots to the same skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. Great with steamed vegetables or fresh salad.
