Good, Solid Recipe

Serve with baby carrots and roasted new potatoes. If you can't find cutlets, place chicken breast halves between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken cutlet and 1/2 cup broccoli rabe mixture)

Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • 1/3  cup  Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 4  (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets
  • 1/2  cup  dry white wine
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 3  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 1  teaspoon  butter
  • 1  pound  broccoli rabe (rapini), cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh parsley
  • 2  tablespoons  capers, rinsed and drained
  • 4  lemon slices (optional)

Preparation

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Combine breadcrumbs and pepper in a shallow dish; dredge chicken in breadcrumb mixture. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm.

Add wine, broth, juice, and butter to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in broccoli rabe; cover and cook 3 minutes or until broccoli rabe is tender. Stir in parsley and capers. Serve chicken over broccoli rabe mixture. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
