Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 4 chicken cutlets with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then dredge each in the 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the cutlets until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until browned and tender, about 6 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes, until it coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over. Cook 2 minutes to warm through.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the chicken with the sauce, alongside the 12 oz french fries (cooked per package) and tomato slices if you like.
