passing on one technique in par-
ticular: how to cook a thin piece
of protein and make a pan sauce
from the drippings. It is indeed
a quick, easy and affordable skill
with endless variations. It also
guarantees a deeply delicious
entree. Consider this recipe —
chicken cutlets topped with a tart
orange sauce — the template for
the technique.
Whenever you use it, you have to
start with a thin piece of protein
to ensure that it cooks quickly
and evenly. Here I’ve chosen
thinly sliced chicken cutlets. If
the only breasts available at your
supermarket are large and thick,
bring them home, pop them in
the freezer for 30 to 40 minutes
(which firms them up) and then,
very carefully, slice them in half
width-wise to produce two thin-
ner cutlets. If you’d prefer pork to
chicken, just buy half-inch-thick
boneless pork chops and trim off
any excess fat.
Before sauteing the meat, you’ll
need to dredge it in flour. This
step prevents the meat from
drying out by coating and insu-
lating it. (Both chicken breasts
and boneless pork chops are very
lean.) It also serves to thicken the
sauce when the protein is added
back to the pan. My flour of choice
is Wondra, a venerable brand
favored by my grandmother that
was magically designed not to
lump up in gravy. It also produces
a nice light coating for the cutlets.
After you’ve browned the cutlets
in a little oil and moved them onto
a plate, there’ll be some concen- recipe

of the pan. To deglaze the pan and START TO FINISH: 30 MINUTES Transfer the chicken to a plate.
