Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss green beans and zucchini slices with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  3. While vegetables roast, season chicken cutlets on both sides with steak spice blend, salt and pepper.
  4. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced shallot to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until shallot is softened, about 1 minute.
  6. Stir in chicken stock concentrate and 1/4 cup water, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Whisk in sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Squeeze lemon juice over roasted vegetables and toss to coat.
  8. Serve chicken cutlets with the shallot sauce spooned over top, alongside the roasted vegetables.

Recipe Tips

For extra tenderness, pound chicken cutlets to an even thickness before cooking.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook chicken in batches if needed to ensure a good sear.

If the sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of water or chicken broth.

FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

Yes, slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create cutlets or pound them to an even thickness for quicker cooking.

What can I substitute for sour cream?

Greek yogurt or crème fraîche work well as substitutes for sour cream in the sauce.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?

Use a dairy-free sour cream alternative and substitute butter with a plant-based butter or additional oil.
