Asian Chicken Cutlets
"A simple to prepare dish that takes advantage of fresh herbs. From June-July 2007 Rachel Ray. Initially posted this untested but made it for dinner tonight! Some changes I made that I believe resulted in an even better dish (they are noted below with *. I also doubled the dressing recipe and used half to marinate the chicken overnight and saved the other half to pour over the cooked chicken. Delicious!"

These are GOOD! Perfect for summer--light, herby and very fresh-tasting. Good hot; good room temperature and good cool, so it's a very nice make-ahead dish. I'll be making this again. Thanks.!

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
