An Old Favorite - Swiss Chicken Cutlets

This is another recipe that is easy to make, but impressive for company. It may look tricky, but the extra steps are well worth the taste!

Swiss Chicken Cutlets
Ingredients:

  • 2-4 thin slices reduced-fat swiss cheese (approx. 2-4 ounces)
  • 4 chicken cutlets, 1.4 inch thick (4 oz. each) You can substitute turkey breast slices if you don't want to find or pound cutlets.
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine (I generally serve the rest of the bottle with dinner)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Oregano
Directions:
Starting at the narrow end, Roll each chicken cutlet with 1/2 a slice of cheese, jelly roll style. Tie with string. Combine flour & pepper in a ziplock bag, and toss cutlets in flour until coated. Melt butter over medium heat. Add cutlets, turning frequently, until golden (about 3 minutes).

Add broth, wine & oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 10-12 minutes. Remove string & serve with rice and a veggie (Our favorite is Brussels sprouts!). I like to melt another 1/2 slice of cheese over each cutlet, and add a dash of oregano before serving. But I'm also a cheese fanatic, so you can do it either way!
