Chicken is a mealtime favorite for a reason. Its versatility and seemingly endless methods of preparation make it an ideal protein to work with for every level of cook. Sautéing is an essential technique for getting dinner on the table fast, and when it's used to make boneless chicken breasts, the possibilities are endless.

If you're looking for a dinner that's herb-filled, fast, and delicious, our recipe for Chicken Cutlets with Herb Butter, pictured here, is just the dish for you.
