Is there any problem using boneless chicken cutlets that are already closer to 1/2″ thickness? Or does pounding the chicken help it in any way? (You can tell that as a vegetarian cooking for a carnivore family, I’m a bit of a novice). Thanks!
Here’s the recipe Andy remembers fondly: 2# turkey cutlets-pounded to 1/4″, 1/2 c. flour, 4T.(1/2 stick) butter or margarine, 1+1/3 c. dry Marsala, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 2 envelopes instant beef bouillon (low salt). Dip turkey cutlets in flour to coat lightly. Saute over medium heat, part at a time, turning once, in part of the butter in large frying pan, til lightly browned. Remove from pan, keep warm. Stir Marsala wine into frying pan, scraping up all browned bits, and stir in pepper and bouillon; simmer 2 minutes. Return turkey to pan, cover and simmer 5 minutes, spooning sauce over cutlets. Serve over egg noodles. Serves 8 (or family of 5 when 2 are teen age boys!)
That’s a keeper! Love all the ‘extra’s’ you described! … marsala wine reduction will happen fast (it did) … adding butter at the end made it even more delish! Yummy Yummy!

I always buy the thin chicken cutlet when they’re available! Why do more work?
