Chicken Cutlets with Lemon Butter Sauce

Chicken Cutlets with Lemon Butter Sauce  is a  delicious and easy weeknight meal. Yet fancy enough for a company dinner.

 Chicken Cutlets with Lemon butter Sauce is so simple to make and takes just 20 minutes because when we make chicken parmesan, we always make extra chicken cutlets and freeze them in plastic containers. I figure I am slaving over the stove anyway, I might as well make extra for a future meal or two right?! 

So that’s what I do make at least 2 containers of chicken cutlets that we can have for another meal and freeze them. So I always have a dinner that is almost ready to go! Here is what they look like. 

When it comes time to make whatever I am going to make with the chicken cutlets I just reheat them. Sometimes I just heat them in the oven. In this case I did them in some olive oil on the stove top since I was going to make a sauce in the pan anyways.
