Chicken Cutlets with Grape Tomatoes, Leeks and Mushrooms

Dinner Party, Gluten Free, PoultryRespond to this post »

Yesterday was one of those crazy, constantly running late, hair disheveled, can’t catch a breath kind of day.

And it’s always that type of day when I am chew my arm off hungry.

Maybe all the racing around burns more calories?

I wouldn’t recommend it as a diet plan, way too stressful.

Now wouldn’t you know, I have no plan for dinner.

Takeout would be blissful, however not usually an option for us Celiac’s.

Bunny (vegetarian daughter) had a plan, taco dip.

Taco dip?  Really? For dinner?  To me it’s more of a snack food.

It’s yummy, sure, but I was almost fainting with hunger, it just wouldn’t do.

On the way back from a music lesson (kids, not mine) I grabbed some thin chicken cutlets at the market.

The ones sliced perfectly with the paper separating the layers.  So easy, love that.

In and out of the store in 4 minutes flat.

Race home.

Open package, fill one bowl with brown rice panko crumbs and spices, another with beaten egg.

Chop up the only vegetables I had on hand: a leek, mushrooms, a carton of grape tomatoes and some garlic.

Get the vegetables happy in a hot skillet with some oil.

Grab a huge cast iron skillet, add oil, heat till really, really hot.

Dunk and roll the cutlets, drop into hot skillet, stir the veggies.

Flip cutlets, cook another 3 minutes.

Lay chicken on plate, top with veggies.

Done!!  12 minutes flat.

Much, much better than taco dip!!
