Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey or chicken cutlets
• 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 cup Chutney (mango or apricot recommended)
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the black peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and coarsely crush them.

Step 2

Season the turkey or chicken cutlets with salt on both sides.

Step 3

Create a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg combined with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with the crushed black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 6

Cook the cutlets in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

Step 7

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the chutney, chicken stock, and lemon juice. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Serve the cutlets drizzled with the chutney sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
