Best Cheese Stuffed Chicken Cutlets Recipes

CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together 2 T flour and salt in a pie tin or on a paper plate.
• 2. Lightly coat the cutlets with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• 3. In a 12" skillet, melt 3 T. butter over medium heat and then place coated cutlets in the pan. (I normally use a stainless steel skillet, not a no-stick pan, so there are plenty of brown bits left for incorporating into the sauce.) Be careful not to overcrowd the cutlets in the pan. You can always add a bit more butter if needed to do a second batch of cutlets.
• 4. Cook cutlets until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from skillet onto large, flat working surface.
• 5. Arrange cheese on top of half the cutlets, and then place the other half of the cutlets on top of the cheese, making a sandwich of sorts. Set aside.
• 6. In the drippings remaining in the skillet, melt the remaining 2 T butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until a medium brown, stirring occasionally.
• 7. To the mushroom mixture, stir in pepper and 1 T flour until blended well. Gradually stir in water, milk, wine and bouillon.
• 8. Heat to boiling, stirring to loosen the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Make sure the bouillon cube dissolves completely,
• 9. Return the cutlet "sandwiches" to the pan and return the sauce to a boil. Then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
• 10. Place cutlets and sauce on large platter; garnish with parsley sprigs. (I only do that if I'm cooking for company. Usually, I just place the appropriate amount of cutlets in plates for me and my hubby, and leave off the parsley.)

CHEESE-STUFFED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a small knife, cut a 4-by-3-inch pocket in the side of each chicken cutlet. Insert a havarti slice and spread 1 teaspoon of thyme in each pocket; press gently to close. 2. In a small saucepan, boil the chicken stock and cream over moderately high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and boil for 30 seconds, whisking a few times. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. 3. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Put the flour in another shallow bowl. 4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge 2 cutlets in flour, shaking off the excess, then coat with the beaten egg. Fry over moderately high heat until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Coat and fry the remaining cutlets. 5. Bake the chicken for about 12 minutes, until just cooked through. Reheat the mustard sauce and pour onto plates. Set the cutlets on the sauce and serve
