What Are Chicken Cutlets?
Chicken cutlets are thinly sliced chicken breasts, about 1/4 inch thick. Chicken cutlets cook quicker and cook more evenly than whole chicken breasts. You can find them labeled "thin-cut" chicken breasts at supermarkets, but you can also make your own by slicing a chicken breast in half horizontally. Here's how to do it:
1. With a long, sharp knife, carefully slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise into two even pieces.
2. Gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet until the cutlet is an even thickness, about ¼ inch thick.
What Can I Substitute for White Wine?
Replace the white wine with an equal amount of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth plus 1/2 tablespoon of white wine vinegar or lemon juice for a touch of brightness and acidity to balance out the dish.
How to Serve Creamy Garlic Skillet Chicken with Spinach
The creamy garlic chicken with spinach can be served over pasta, brown rice, cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles or whole grains to soak up the delicious sauce. Make a green salad to round out the meal.
