Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chicken cutlets are simply chicken breasts that have been pounded thin—andchicken breastoffers a nice nutritional package. You’ll get lots of protein and vitamins and minerals, including choline, vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).
Green beans are often overlooked for their nutritional value. They’re low in calories and carbs, and provide some fiber and vitamins and minerals, including manganese, vitamin C and antioxidants.
Garlic packs a nutritional punchin those little cloves. Research suggests it may lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and boost immunity. When eaten in larger quantities, it has been shown to prevent blood clots (but the resulting scent of your breath may keep friends away!).
Totrim green beans, line several of them up on a cutting board and cut off the stem ends at once. If they are curvy, cut them individually. Shorter green beans can be left whole, while longer green beans can be cut in half.
You can replace the white wine with an equal amount of unsalted chicken broth. The tablespoon of lemon juice in the recipe adds a touch of brightness and acidity to balance out the dish, but feel free to add a bit more if you like.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
