This quick-cooking, high-protein chicken dish is perfect for any weeknight. Simply cook down cherry tomatoes with a little wine until they burst and become jammy—making a luscious sauce to pair with chicken. A pinch of sugar at the end balances the sauce’s acidity.

20-Minute Chicken Cutlets with Garlic Tomato Sauce

Serves 4

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes
  • 1 pound chicken cutlets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 (10-ounce) basket cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 large cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Pinch granulated sugar
Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving plate.

Add tomatoes, wine, garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the liquid has thickened and the tomatoes have burst, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, sage, butter and sugar. Serve over the chicken.
