Notes

  • Prepare the sauce separate from the chicken cutlets. Place the cutlets on the serving dish and then pour the sauce over the cutlet. If you simmer the cutlets in the sauce, it can cause the egg batter to pull away from the chicken.
  • The cutlets and sauce can be prepared several hours in advance of serving. Re-heat the cutlets in a low-temp oven and gently warm the sauce on the stove.
  • The sauce can be frozen for up to 2 months.
