Method

Cutlets cook in 4 minutes a side. Do not walk away.

01
Get set
Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw chicken.
02
Make cutlets
Slice each breast in half horizontally into two thin cutlets. Cover with cling film and flatten gently to an even 1 cm.
03
Marinate
Mix the marinade, coat the cutlets and rest for 15 minutes.
04
Sear
Heat a skillet on medium-high. Cook the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer.
05
Rest
Rest the cutlets for 3 minutes on a board.
06
Dress and serve
Toss the arugula and tomatoes with the oil, lemon and salt. Pile onto plates, top with sliced cutlets and parmesan.
