Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- Chicken breast fillets: 1 lb (450 g)
- Large egg: 1
- All-purpose flour: 3 tablespoons (about 45 mL)
- Sharp mustard: 2 tablespoons (about 30 mL)
- Brandy: 1 tablespoon (about 15 mL)
- Vegetable oil: 4 tablespoons (about 60 mL)
- Ground black pepper: to taste
- Salt: to taste
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
Rinse the chicken breast fillets and pat them dry. Slice them crosswise into 1 cm thick pieces.
Place each piece between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until thin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, combine the mustard and brandy.
Brush this mixture over the pounded chicken cutlets, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Lightly beat the egg with a pinch of salt and some ground pepper.
Spread the flour on a wide plate. Dredge the marinated chicken cutlets in flour to coat them completely.
Dip the floured cutlets into the beaten egg mixture.
Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the cutlets hot, ideally accompanied by a light salad or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
Enjoy your cooking and delight your guests with these exquisite chicken cutlets, where the richness of brandy beautifully complements the sharpness of mustard, creating a memorable dining experience.
