Chicken Louisa (Cutlets) image

This dish is a wonderful weekday meal, but its simple elegance also makes it perfect for a party. I made this for a group of 16 women and everyone wanted the recipe. I was also able to make it a few hours ahead and then just heat it up when they arrived! This recipe is from Peter Micheli of Sugar and Spice of Massachusetts.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was delicious.
