Organic Kids Dinner

Lemon Chicken Cutlets with Pan Fried Green Beans & Cucumber Salad

Gigi (my 6 year old) created this for dinner tonight. We scored organic local chicken at the farmers market in old town- Temecula, along with basil, green beans, cucumber and cherry tomato.

I sliced the chicken breast into long pieces, while G pounded them nice and flat. Then we dipped them in egg and milk batter- then in (gluten free) almond flour, and right into a nice hot pan brimming with olive oil. As they came out of the pan, we squeezed fresh lemon onto them, then pressed fresh mint leaves onto each cutlet. We continued the process until all were done.

Green beans were pan fried in a wee bit of butter with a healthy pinch of pecorino Parmesan cheese, until they were crispy and brown.

Cucumbers were sliced and arranged on the plate with a bit of lemon, EVOO, salt and pepper- with a cherry tomato garnish. Kids got a pretty good eye hue!

I added the medium boiled egg at the last minute... very tasty!
