Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh oregano (chopped)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each cutlet lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Cook the chicken cutlets in the skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the cutlets and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the fresh oregano and lemon juice.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, reducing slightly.
Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked through.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken cutlet. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Serve the chicken cutlets with the oregano wine sauce spooned over them. Pair with your favorite side dish, like buttery mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
