What a gorgeous day today was! Mind you it felt like an oven the majority of the time, but that’s what I love about summer…always an excuse to head to the pool. Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury of being a stay-at-home housewife (although I wish I could be!) so I was enjoying the view of this wonderful weather from my office window. Le sigh.
Although the great thing about my job is that I have the internet at my disposal and can find yummy recipes! I was looking for a light chicken dish that would be quick and simple. I had lots of fresh rosemary, thyme and parmesan cheese on hand so this recipe looked perfect! I lightened it up by cutting back on the amount of butter asked for and chose to use chicken cutlets instead of full breasts, but other than that this was pretty perfect on its own!
What I really love most about this recipe, aside from the fresh herbs of course, is the Dijon, Worcestershire and garlic mixture that you dip the chicken into! I found that this combination of flavors really accompanied each other well and made this dish absolutely delicious! I paired the chicken with brown rice and rosemary-olive oil bread and it did not disappoint. Perfect summer meal that was light yet very filling!

Those look soo good! I can’t wait to give them a try:)
I love chicken cutlets, but I usually just pan-fry them. This looks like something I’ll definitely have to try soon! (Plus, anything with Dijon in it is an easy sell for me…)
I love the mixture that you dip the chicken into! I’m going to have to give this a try with my family.
Thanks for visiting my blog today! I hope you stop by again soon!
oh wow, these look amazing! and i was on the hunt for a light and tasty chicken recipe for supper tonight, perfect! 🙂
Hi, Kelly: SO nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by my blog! You have a fun and lovely blog. Can’t wait to visit again.
Love all of the herbs in this! Perfect for the summer herbs.
Kelly, chicken seems to be the new summer food. Seems like everyone is doing a chicken dish, including me =)
I would love to have some of your chicken cubed in bite size pieces; they will make a perfect snack!
Another great recipe, Kelly, that sounds way more wicked than it is!
Delicious! Chicken, herbs? How can you not love this!!
Kelly, that looks great and so easy to make! Will try it out one of these days!
I just jumped over here when I saw the title of your blog. I’m totally eating right now, but myself is not getting skinny. In fact, it’s kind of doing that whole opposite thing. I don’t appreciate that.
This recipe looks awesome and I’ve actually been craving chicken all day.
