9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets (about 1 3/4 pounds total)
  • 1/4 cup homemade spicy mustard (see recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh tarragon leaves for garnish
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    On a plate, place the bread crumbs, salt, thyme, dried tarragon and pepper and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  2. 2
    Set aside.
  3. 3
    Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper and use the back of a small heavy skillet to lightly pound them until they are somewhat flattened and even in thickness.
  4. 4
    Slather each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of the mustard and roll each in the bread crumbs to coat.
  5. 5
    Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil to each.
  6. 6
    Place 2 cutlets in each skillet and cook, turning once, until the breasts are cooked through and deeply browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    (Lower the heat if the crust begins to brown too quickly.)
  8. 8
    Transfer the cutlets to a platter and garnish with the minced tarragon and lemon wedges.
  9. 9
    Serve immediately.
