How to Make this FABULOUS Sauteed Chicken Cutlets with Cherry Tomatoes!

First, the chicken cutlets are lightly dredged with some flour, coating both sides evenly.  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.

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.  Then spooned the entire mixture over the chicken and topped with crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil.  Yum!!

Simple, fresh tasting and delicious!
