20-Minute Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Pesto Sauce

Serve these creamy pesto chicken cutlets over your favorite pasta or zucchini noodles. This easy dinner recipe is sure to become a new family favorite.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken cutlets
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup pesto
  • 1 medium plum tomato, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil

Directions:

  1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add onion to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream, any accumulated juices from the chicken and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in pesto and tomatoes, then return the chicken to the pan. Turn to coat; cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Divide the chicken and sauce among 4 plates. Sprinkle with basil.
