On baking sheet, arrange stuffed cutlets, seam side down (they should not touch); freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Wrap each in plastic; place in a resealable freezer bag; label, and date. Freeze up to 2 months.

CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together 2 T flour and salt in a pie tin or on a paper plate.
• 2. Lightly coat the cutlets with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• 3. In a 12" skillet, melt 3 T. butter over medium heat and then place coated cutlets in the pan. (I normally use a stainless steel skillet, not a no-stick pan, so there are plenty of brown bits left for incorporating into the sauce.) Be careful not to overcrowd the cutlets in the pan. You can always add a bit more butter if needed to do a second batch of cutlets.
• 4. Cook cutlets until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from skillet onto large, flat working surface.
• 5. Arrange cheese on top of half the cutlets, and then place the other half of the cutlets on top of the cheese, making a sandwich of sorts. Set aside.
• 6. In the drippings remaining in the skillet, melt the remaining 2 T butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until a medium brown, stirring occasionally.
• 7. To the mushroom mixture, stir in pepper and 1 T flour until blended well. Gradually stir in water, milk, wine and bouillon.
• 8. Heat to boiling, stirring to loosen the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Make sure the bouillon cube dissolves completely,
• 9. Return the cutlet "sandwiches" to the pan and return the sauce to a boil. Then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
• 10. Place cutlets and sauce on large platter; garnish with parsley sprigs. (I only do that if I'm cooking for company. Usually, I just place the appropriate amount of cutlets in plates for me and my hubby, and leave off the parsley.)

• Spread broccoli filling evenly over the middle of each cutlet. Start from one end, roll cutlets up and secure edges with toothpicks.
• Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken rolls in the mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken rolls into skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and brown the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks and serve.

CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH BURRATA AND MELTED BABY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Lightly sprinkle salt over the chicken thighs, then dredge 1 seasoned chicken thigh in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off the excess flour, then dip the thigh into the seasoned egg wash, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let the excess egg mixture drip off, then dip the thigh into the panko mixture, pressing down to coat the chicken thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture on both sides. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan set over medium heat and add the breaded chicken cutlets, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the breading is golden brown on the bottom, 7 to 9 minutes, then flip and add the butter and thyme to the pan. Cook the second side of the cutlets until golden brown, basting with the browning butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly sprinkle salt over each one. Repeat until all the cutlets have been fried.
• Divide the cutlets among four dinner plates. Spoon melted baby tomato sauce over the top, then add a few spoonfuls of burrata on top of the tomatoes. Season with additional salt to taste and serve immediately.
• In a sauté pan, heat the oil slightly over low heat. Add the garlic slices, oregano and red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds. Before the garlic has taken on any color, add the cherry tomatoes to the pan, turn the heat up to medium high, season with a pinch of salt and continue to sauté as the tomatoes release their juices. Once the juices and the pectin from the tomatoes have combined with the oil and have started to form a nice sauce (about 8 to 10 minutes), stir in the basil. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days until ready to use.
