Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a good quality vermouth.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each cutlet plenty of space in the pan. This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Be patient: Don't rush the cooking process. Take your time searing the chicken and sautéing the vegetables. This will help develop the flavors and ensure that the dish is cooked through.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

This sautéed chicken cutlets with vermouth, leek, and tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
