Recipe Notes

• The cutlets are thin. Be sure you don't overcook.

• f you don’t want to use wine, substitute extra chicken stock.

• For a little extra Italian flavor, add some Parmesan cheese and some strips of basil before serving.

• Can be served over rice or alone.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Season chicken with black pepper and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium and cook the cutlets until they're lightly browned. Transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not wipe skillet clean.
   
2. Add sundried tomatoes and shallots to the chicken drippings in the pan and cook for about 1 minute over medium, stirring frequently.
   
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the wine and chicken stock to the tomatoes and shallots, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits. Bring the liquid to a boil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by two-thirds.
   
4. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the secret ingredient: pesto. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over the cutlets.
   
5. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to rewarm the cutlets and allow the sauce to thicken.
