Inspiration Strikes: Chicken!

So I went out last evening with a couple of friends to a restaurant. California Chicken (? - maybe). I usually order steak but last night they had changed the menu (Yikes!) and I had to choose from among 3 chicken dishes - wasn't up for their gazillion pizza choices and I am wary of fish unless I'm at a seafood restaurant. SO. I chose "Chicken Milanese". Breaded chicken cutlets topped with arugula and sauteed tomatoes with garlic.

Oh. My. God.

FABULOUS!

So naturally I decided I'd make it tonight for dinner for me and Mom. Results? Mahvelous.

A little heavy on the olive oil (I overdo routinely - too much oil, butter, spices, etc.). But it was all done to perfection (Mother's better than mine since I put the remnants of the oil and garlic on my cutlets) and the side dish - steamed asparagus with balsamic vinaigrette was delish.

I can't stand it! I'm feeling like a chef for heaven's sake!
