Chicken Louisa (Cutlets) image

This dish is a wonderful weekday meal, but its simple elegance also makes it perfect for a party. I made this for a group of 16 women and everyone wanted the recipe. I was also able to make it a few hours ahead and then just heat it up when they arrived! This recipe is from Peter Micheli of Sugar and Spice of Massachusetts.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken cutlets, 1/3 inch thick (1 1/2 lbs.)

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken cutlets turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
