Escalope de Poulet et Haricots Verts (Chicken Cutlet with Green Beans) is French home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets (escalopes)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the green beans for 5 to 6 minutes, until just tender, then drain.
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and dust them lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the cutlets for about 3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through, then set them aside.
- In the same skillet, toss the green beans and minced garlic for 2 minutes until coated in the buttery pan juices.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the beans, season with a little more salt and pepper, and serve them alongside the chicken cutlets.
