I made this for my family and we all loved it! I used chicken breasts instead of cutlets, and they turned out great! Since then i have tried the recipe with chicken fingers as well, and they also came out great! Thanks Rachel!

I substituted pork cutlets since my husband will not each chicken in any form or fashion. He absolutely loved it and said it was definately a keeper recipe. I thoughly enjoyed and liked having the sauce on it instead of a a gravy. You know us Southerners love the gravy but this was such a refreshing change.

This chicken recipe is easy and delicious. With just my husband and I, the pesto recipe makes enough for two meals. The pesto freezes very well, so making extra for future meals is easy. This tastes like an authentic milanese... wonderful! Thanks Rachael!

I made this for my boyfriend and me, and we both LOVED it...Mr. "It's-Okay" RAVED about this and asked me to make sure to keep the recipe. I did eliminate the zest from the breading, as I don't care for it, but it was still AWESOME. Loved the sauce, too. It was the perfect complement, as were the plum tomatoes, to the chicken.




Yum-mo!!

These were de-licious!! The sauce was very easy to make and the lemon in both the sauce and the zest in the breading really brighten this dish. Top that with some juicy ripe tomato and it's wonderful! I used whole wheat breadcrumbs and served this with some mashed cauliflower and had a great heatlhy meal.

User: Mardi from Hendersonville, NC    User Rating:
there have been few of R/R's recipes that I've enjoyed so far....but this one is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! I used chicken breasts, pounded them thin and then cut them in half. I cooked on medium low heat otherwise the breading would have cooked faster than the chicken. At the tail end of cooking and then right before serving, I squeezed fresh lemon juice over them. We are watching our carbs so I served with a nice green salad. My husband and I enjoyed this very much - thanks Rachel. And yes, it took me much longer than 30 min! I'm sure it's b/c she has everything right there ready for her like pots, pans...and a GREAT knife that is ALWAYS sharp!!!!

User: CATHERINE from Sugar Land, TX    User Rating:
This was very easy to make and my whole family loved it. I didn't use the whole amount of pepper flakes and I used chicken tenderloins instead of the whole chicken breast so it would be easier for my children to pick up and eat. We loved the basil sauce but you could easily substitute marinara or any other sauce you like. I will definitely make this one again.




Breading just OK

I made the cutlets as the recipe stated, but instead of the sauce, used homemade pesto and slices of tomato on a sandwich. It was really good, but the breading wasn't any better than other more simple breadcrumb mixtures that I've used. Not worth the expense on the pinenuts - that flavor didn't come through for me.

We enjoyed this meal on Friday, it wasn't too hard to make and it tasted wonderfully. I only made 1 pound of cutlets which was enough for 2 ppl. Otherwise I left the recipe as is because I didn't want to run out of breading or sauce. The sauce was great too!

This recipe was great and really easy. I breaded the chicken twice, fist I breaded them once and cooked them until breading was brown, then I flipped chicken in breading again while it was still hot. The basil parsley sause was suprisingly tasty, I was scepticle about it at first but it really added flavor to the chicken.

This chicken was fabulous. My husband and son cleaned their plates. I didn't have poultry seasoning on hand but used lemon and herb seasoning which added just a little more lemon flavor but worked really well in this dish. It was very simple to make but tasted great.

I watched this on TV and had to go in the kitchen and try it. I had bone in pieces of chicken ready, so I used them. I browned the chicken as suggested and then put in a 350 oven for 20 minutes and then 20 minutes at 450. It was fabulous. I mistakenly used a whole lemon in the sauce, too much, so I added some Parmesan cheese, and that was not bad either. Very good and looks great.

I cannot believe that anyone couldn't love this chicken! I made it for a wide and varied audience - including my picky kids, my *sauce should be red* husband, my sister (who is a chef)and my health food addicted best friend. All agreed this was one of the tastiest recipes for chicken cutlets to be found! I would encourage those naysayers to give it one more shot - maybe go a little lighter on the lemon or be a little more heavy handed with the pine nuts. And the food processor DOES make a difference... Happy Eating!

This was really yummy. You have to make it with the risi side dish as recommended as the flavors go great together.

I am sure it will be awesome next time I make it with the basil!!! ENJOY!

I love Rachel, but I hated the this recipe. The seasoning of the chicken could have just been italian bread crumbs....its would have tasted the same with a lot less work. The basil sauce was too tangy. Not a hit in my house.

This recipe was very tasty. I have never had pesto sauce or risotto before. I really enjoyed both flavors. My husband was skeptical...he is a very picky eater, but he also liked it. The only thing I did differently was finish the chicken in the oven. I have a tendency to burn breaded chicken and under cook it too fast. So I wanted to make sure it was cooked through! Thanks Rachel for all your practical recipes!

I planned to make this dish for the first time one night, and my dad just happened to stop by for a visit with the grandkids. I almost changed my dinner menu to something I knew how to make because my dad used to be a professional chef, and I was nervous to try something new with him. I made the dish anyway, and thought it would be a bomb. Fortunately, both my dad and my husband just loved it! Unfortunately, I hadn't planned on the extra mouth when I went shopping, and there wasn't NEAR enough for everyone to eat as much as they would have liked! Later on in the week, my mom told me that my dad had just raved about my great meal! It meant so much to me to hear that he was so impressed, and needless to say, I will be making this dish again in the near future!

So Good!!! We made extra and put it on a salad for the next day, it was delicious. Also, if you make allot of extra bread crumb coating, you can store in the fridge for the next time you make it which will cut down on time (you can almost make it in the 30 minutes that way).

I also found, as many others, that this took me about 45 minutes for the chicken....but then, Rachel has a prep team doing a lot for her before the show (organizing spices and cans on her shelf and having correct pans and dishes out, etc.), so 45 minutes on my own wasn't bad. The dish was delicious, but I am not a fan of basil so I did what a few others did and used a top grade pasta sauce. I would definetly make this dish again, but plan a few more minutes. As one person said....prepping ahead is what it's all about.

I made the chicken without the sauce. I served it over penne tossed with store-bought pesto. Lots of flavors going on! The next night I heated the left-over chicken in the oven and then added some sliced mozzarella just until melted. I served it topped with a spoon of the pesto on toasted sliced garlic/black pepper bread from the bakery and added sliced tomato and a little mayo. Delicious! Hubby says that it is a keeper! Thanks Rachel!

Dear "Not". I can prepare a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner, from scratch, in three hours (not including turkey roasting time)! Some of Rachael's meals take me a MAX of 60 minutes to prepare, but she's usually right on the mark. The key is ORGANIZATION- Prep work is key, and like the chefs on TV, I get all of my ingredients measured and chopped before starting the recipe. You'll find yourself cooking faster with less confusion. No way would this recipe take that long to make-- did you included runs to the market for things you forgot to buy?

Her coworkers asked her where she bought the sandwich from because it looked & smelled store bought!This is an excellent recipe!!

I have made a ton of Rachael's recipes, and I'd have to say that this is one of the very best. The coating on the chicken was absolutely delicious, and I expect that it would be good leftover, except that we ate every bit I made! The basil-parsley sauce was very good, but the chicken is flavorful enough on its own that it doesn't need a sauce. If you felt like you wanted a sauce, but didn't feel like doing the basil-parsley, a little leftover marinara would work quite well also. The only tip I would add is that, depending on the parmesan you are using and how salty it is, you might want to add a little salt to the breading.

The lemon added a unique twist to the sauce and the bit of lemon zest in the breading tied it all together beautifully! I would next time, add a little more grated cheese to the crumb breading and a bit more sea salt and pepper for more intense flavor of the nuts, seasonings etc. Reminded me alot of the Cuban version of Chimichurri sauce over steak!!
