Chicken Cutlets With Mustard

Preparation

1. Step 1

   On a plate, place the bread crumbs, salt, thyme, dried tarragon and pepper and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

2. Step 2

   Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper and use the back of a small heavy skillet to lightly pound them until they are somewhat flattened and even in thickness. Slather each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of the mustard and roll each in the bread crumbs to coat.

3. Step 3

   Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil to each. Place 2 cutlets in each skillet and cook, turning once, until the breasts are cooked through and deeply browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Lower the heat if the crust begins to brown too quickly.)

4. Step 4

   Transfer the cutlets to a platter and garnish with the minced tarragon and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
