Cheese Stuffed Chicken Cutlets With Mustard Sauce Recipes

CHEESE-STUFFED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 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.
• 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.
• In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Put the flour in another shallow bowl.
• 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.
• 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. Looking for more chicken recipes? Try our collections of chicken breast recipes, chicken casserole recipes, and recipe for leftover chicken.

CRISP STUFFED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, cornstarch, parsley and garlic until lumps dissolve and mixture is slightly foamy. Set aside.
• Brush one side of each chicken cutlet with mustard. Divide cheese and ham among 3 cutlets and place on mustard side. Top each with 1 tablespoon sauerkraut and 1/8 teaspoon caraway seeds. Arrange remaining 3 cutlets mustard-side down on top of sauerkraut to sandwich the ham and cheese. Press to seal.
• Dip stuffed cutlets in egg white mixture and dredge in bread crumbs. (You can do this several hours ahead and refrigerate until needed).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place cutlets in hot pan and fry until dark brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; serve hot, with additional sauerkraut on the side.

CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH MUSTARD

Steps:

• On a plate, place the bread crumbs, salt, thyme, dried tarragon and pepper and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
• 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. Slather each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of the mustard and roll each in the bread crumbs to coat.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil to each. Place 2 cutlets in each skillet and cook, turning once, until the breasts are cooked through and deeply browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Lower the heat if the crust begins to brown too quickly.)
• Transfer the cutlets to a platter and garnish with the minced tarragon and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
