Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds), patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 scallions, thinly sliced
8 ounces mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake or a combination), quartered
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups sugar snap peas, stemmed and halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Dredge 2 chicken cutlets in flour, shake off any excess and place in the skillet. Cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes per side; transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the other 2 chicken cutlets. Cover the dish loosely with foil; place in the oven while you prepare the vegetables.
