In the morning or the night before: Pound them thin with a rolling pin (place plastic wrap above and underneath chicken to make the cleanup easy). Marinate in either italian salad dressing or BBQ sauce in a ziplock bag.

When you get home: just broil the pieces (with the marinade)--it cooks pretty quick. Serve with pasta, salad, presto you've got the whole meal.

Actually no need to marinade, you can just pound-smother with sauce/dressing-broil though it tastes better if the chicken gets to marinate.

yup. I often feel exactly like your screen name.

Or, cut the cutlets into strips, stir-fry with vegetables.
You can use soysauce (I like diluting with a bit of orange juice to make it less salty) or
chicken soup powder diluted with hot water for seasoning.

how about these:
1} coat thin slice of chicken cutlet in duck sauce, place pastrami on top, roll up, coat with cornflake crumbs and bake. Add a bit of duck sauce on top the last 10 - 15 min of bake time.

2} Cut in small pieces, coat with eggs and breadcrumbs, fry in oil. Separate pot mix ketchup, honey, mayo, mustard, garlic (dont know exact quantities off hand). Mix til smooth, pour over nuggets.

3} marinate chicken strips or cutlets in any sauces you have at home. Grill on George foreman with slices of onions.

4} Shish kebobs - small pieces on skewers with veggies, marinate in oil and teryaki sauce, grill. serve over rice.

5} coat small pieces in flour. Brown on both sides in oil. Remove from pot. Sautee onions with whatever vegetables you like. When soft add the chicken cutlet to pot, cover with water, add soup mix, spices and soy sauce. Cook low heat 30 min. mix in a bit of flour to give sauce a thicker consistency. cook another 10 minutes.

You need more? btw, dh is a fan of chicken cutlet so I've accumulated quite a few recipes over the years.

Good Luck!

Here's mine:

mix flour with spices (pepper, onion pdr, garlic pdr, paprika, salt, etc.)
dip cutlets into flour mixture
fry lightly on each side
add orange juice to the pot, cover and simmer on low about 20 min. or till done. Watch to see if it needs more liquid. The flour will thicken the orange juice resulting in a yummy, tangy sauce.

Melt margarine (I know, I know) or heat oil. Add garlic, then pour into shallow bowl. Cut cutlets into strips. Dip into fat, then into panko. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Place a little olive oil (1 -2 Tbs) in a pan. Add garlic. Sautee chicken breast until cooked through.

Combine 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tbs olive oil, garlic and ginger. Marinate chicken breasts 1 hour to overnight. Bake at 350, 1/2 hour.

Dip cutlet in soy sauce, then in sesame seed/salt/pepper.garlic mixture. Bake at 350, 1/2 hour.

cut up the chicken cutlets into thin strips and flavor with shwarma seasoning and a bit of oil. I then saute the chicken strips in about a tablespoon of oil. I serve the chicken in whole wheat pita with chummus, lettuce, & chopped tomato

This is so funny. I opened this thread now because I have a package of cutlets defrosting for Friday night and did not know what to do with them. I had forgotten about my orange chicken but I think this is a great idea and I will probably make them tomorrow. THANK YOU YALT.

Start with about half a cup, but watch it closely, you will probably need to add more.
