Steps:
- Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Mix the flour with 2 teaspoons rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the buttermilk in another shallow bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir to make clumps. Dip the cutlets one at a time in the flour, then in the buttermilk, then back in the flour again to make a shaggy coating. (You should use all of the flour mixture.) Set the chicken aside on a plate.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the garlic is lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the cannellini beans and their liquid, 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes; add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook until deep golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Stir the parsley into the beans and divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken to the plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED TUSCAN CHICKEN DINNER
When an Italian friend shared many years ago that she often added Italian sausages to her pan of baked chicken, I had to give it a try! The sausages give the chicken an amazing flavor. Over the years, I've turned it into a one-dish meal by adding potatoes, onions and peppers, and it has become a family favorite that I often use for holidays, spur of the moment company and Sunday dinners. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use free-range, organic chicken cutlets.
- Be sure to season the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.
- Dredge the chicken cutlets in flour before pan-frying them. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the chicken cutlets over medium heat until they are cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the red sauce.
- To make the red sauce, start by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil. Then, add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Once the chicken cutlets are cooked through, add them to the red sauce. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
- Serve the Tuscan farmhouse chicken cutlets with red sauce over cooked pasta.
