Sauteed chicken cutlets with cherry tomatoes are always satisfying and even a little addicting.
We’re always looking for ways to turn a simple package of thin chicken cutlets into something interesting and fabulous for dinner! This happens to be one of them.
How to Make these FABULOUS Sauteed Chicken Cutlets with Cherry Tomatoes!
1. First, the chicken cutlets are lightly dredged with some flour, coating both sides evenly.
2. Then they are sauteed in a large skillet with some olive oil and butter for a few minutes until they are fully cooked and transferred to a serving plate nearby.
3. Using the same skillet, we added in some fresh garlic, cherry tomatoes, and kalamata olives, and sautéd them with olive oil for about 2 minutes.
4. Then spooned the entire mixture over the chicken and topped it with crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil. Yum!!
My favorite part of this dinner?
Is that this chicken dish is entirely made in ONE skillet – for easy cleanup! It is one of those quick and easy skillet dinners; with wonderful and bold flavors, makes a very light dish along with a refreshing taste to the chicken.
Trust me, it is truly FABULOUS!
NO need to add a lot of seasonings with this recipe, since the key ingredients are the kalamata olives and feta cheese that add enough flavors to make this dish so outstanding!
Everyone really LOVED it!
Simple, fresh-tasting, and delicious!
With that in mind, I want to share a recent article that was sent to me by a friend of mine about the health benefits of following the Mediterranean diet.
Previous studies have shown that this diet which is high in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, fish, and olive oil- is believed to be associated with weight loss, lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of diabetes and heart disease.
You can read more information about the Mediterranean diet in the CBS news article found at http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mediterranean-diet-cuts-risk-of-heart-disease-nearly-in-half/
This skillet chicken recipe is from the ‘old world’ and is currently the new now! Think the Mediterranean all the way; a dish presentation of colorful ingredients with a diet healthy recipe and it won’t disappoint in flavor.
Enjoy!
