Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-1/4 lb thinly sliced chicken breast, i bought a package of boneless, thin sliced chicken breast, and pepper and all purpose flour
4 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 c vodka
1 c chicken broth
4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 c chopped fresh tomato
1 shallot, chopped
2 Tbsp capers
4 Tbsp heavy cream

Steps:

1. Coat a heavy skillet with nonstick spray, add oil and heat over medium heat. Coat chicken with flour, salt and pepper mixture and sauté cutlets on both sides. It doesn't take long since they are so thin. Remove from pan to casserole dish. Deglaze pan with vodka (away from heat).
2. Add shallot to vodka mixture and return to heat and cook until vodka is nearly evaporated. I think I had about 2 Tablespoons of mixture left in pan. Add chicken broth and lemon juice. Return cutlets to sauce and cook about 8 minutes. Remove cutlets back to casserole dish and add tomatoes, cream and capers to sauce and stir. If sauce is to thin, sprinkle a little wondra flour in and stir until it thickens a little
3. Pour sauce over cutlets. I served cutlets over rice and had mixed vegetables.
