Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and chop the 4 potatoes into chunks, then boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, set up a breading station: beat the 2 eggs in one bowl and place the 1 cup breadcrumbs in another.

  3. Step 3

    Dip each of the 4 chicken cutlets in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. Step 4

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter and cook the breaded cutlets until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Steam the 2 cups broccoli and 2 sliced carrots until bright and tender, about 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Drain the potatoes, add the remaining 1 tbsp butter and 1/2 cup cream, and mash until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

  7. Step 7

    Warm the remaining 1/2 cup cream in a small saucepan, then serve the cutlet with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and a drizzle of cream sauce.
