Chicken cutlets are really just chicken breasts that have been pounded down so they're thinner. And, chicken breast offers important nutrients including protein, choline, vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). Are Mushrooms Good for You? While mushrooms don't exactly fit into the "eat the rainbow" campaign, these earthy fungi have a wealth of health benefits. Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins and have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and boost gut health. Tips from the Test Kitchen What Are Chicken Cutlets? Chicken cutlets are thinly sliced chicken breasts, usually between 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Sometimes labeled "thin-cut," they cook through quickly, which is why we love them here. If you can't find cutlets, you can make your own by slicing a chicken breast in half horizontally. If they're much more than 1/2 inch thick, you can pound them down with a meat mallet or with a small, heavy skillet until they're the right thickness. What Type of Mushrooms Can I Use? This easy creamy chicken recipe is a great way to use wild mushrooms, available at many grocery stores and farmer's markets. Use an assortment of mixed mushrooms for the dish, such as cremini, portobello, chanterelle, shiitake, porcini, button and oyster mushrooms. When shopping for mushrooms, they should feel dry and firm to the touch, have a smooth outer appearance and be free from any dark spots. Be sure to clean the mushrooms well before using. Is There a Substitute for the White Wine? You can replace the white wine with an equal amount of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth plus 1/2 tablespoon of white wine vinegar or lemon juice for a touch of brightness and acidity to balance out the dish. Frequently Asked Questions What Can I Serve with Creamy Chicken & Mushrooms? The creamy chicken dish can be served over whole-wheat pasta, mashed potatoes, brown rice, cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. Make a simple side salad to round out the meal.
