Chicken Cutlets in Creamy Wine Pesto Sauce is a delicious and easy weeknight dinner. Such a simple meal to throw together when I use my already made chicken cutlets. We love this dish.
Chicken Cutlets in Creamy Wine Pesto Sauce is so simple because it starts with chicken cutlets that I already have made and are frozen. I always make extra chicken cutlets since I am already frying (sometimes I bake them also). But I figure I am already making them so I might as well make extra for nights that I don’t feel like making a big deal of cooking. so I freeze them in batches like this.
Chicken Cutlets in Creamy Wine Pesto Sauce requires just a few simple ingredients and very little work.
In some olive oil reheat the defrosted chicken cutlets. When they are done place in a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Add some chicken broth and pesto. You can add your own homemade pesto or store bought pesto. I make pesto and freeze it. But there are many good pesto sauces in the produce section of the market also.
Let that come to a boil then add the white wine. Let that simmer for 5 minutes or so then add the heavy whipping cream.
Stir and let the sauce cook down a bit. Add 1 tsp butter and let butter melt. The sauce will remain fairly thin.
Pour the sauce over the chicken cutlets and serve with your favorite vegetable or pasta.
A crusty french bread goes well with this also. The sauce is so yummy!
