    Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

    Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce.
  7. 7
    Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
