chicken cutlets
NEED:
thin chicken cutlets (mine were too think) or use pork or veal
salt
pepper
panko bread crumbs
3 eggs beaten 
flour
parmesean cheese
thyme
parsley
garlic
lemon rind (i did not use)
oil for frying

DO:
salt and pepper chicken
run a knife though the garlic, thyme and parsley until finely meshed together (also lemon rind if using). mix with parmesean cheese and panko crumbs.

dredge chicken in flour, then egg mixture then bread crumb mixture. fry in oil until done and crispy. keep hot in oven until serving (use a cookie sheet with a cooling rack in an oven at 300 degrees).

optional and i did not do this but should have :)
combine chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion and fresh corn kernals with thyme. serve on top of chicken.


Herbed Chicken Tenderloins OR Chicken Marsala--call it what you like :) 
A creation I came up with.... :)
NEED:
Chicken breasts (or tenderloins)--boneless skinless
olive oil
dried herbs of your choice
salt and pepper
sliced onions
sliced red peppers
sliced mushrooms
chicken broth
Red Cooking Wine (I used Burgundy; I have also used Red Marsala)
Dash of cornstarch
pat of butter

DO:
**heat a small swirl of olive oil in pan over medium-high heat
**sprinkle herbs over prepared chicken (cut off any "ickies")
**place in hot pan, sprinkle "Up side" with herbs, salt and pepper and cook about 5 minutes (should be browned)
**Flip and cook on other side until chicken is done.
**move chicken to plate and tent with foil to keep warm (might want to put on stove where it is warm but not cooking)
**add tiny bit more olive oil and onions/peppers saute for 5 minutes
**add mushrooms and saute 5 minutes more
**add about 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup wine (or just do all broth)---I did not measure :)
**use the wine and broth to loosen up all of the yummy "burnt" spots in the pan--scrape them up with wooden spoon and mix it all together
**turn heat up and reduce mixuture by at least half
**add your dash of cornstarch and mix (will thicken a little bit)
**should be a sauce but a bit thick. swirl in the pat of butter
**serve over chicken :)
if you do not like the veggies, omit or substitute :)
