Quick Stovetop Chicken Cutlets with Fresh Cherry Salsa
Serves 4
Time 30 min
Instead of chicken, you could spoon this family-friendly salsa over pork chops or baked tofu, or serve it with tortilla chips in place of standard tomato salsa. Stir in chopped jalapeños, if you like.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound cherries (about 2 cups), pitted
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- 1 large ripe tomato, cored and roughly chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 3/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Method
Put cherries, onion, tomato, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper into a food processor and pulse to make a chunky salsa. (Or, finely chop all of the ingredients and toss together in a bowl.)
Stir in cilantro and set aside.
Put breadcrumbs into a wide, shallow dish.
Season chicken all over with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, dredge in breadcrumbs to coat, shake off and discard any excess crumbs and transfer coated cutlets to a large plate.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Working in two batches, if needed, arrange chicken in skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until cooked through and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Transfer to plates and spoon salsa over the top.
