Turkey/Chicken Cutlets with Orange-Cranberry Pan Sauce

Since there are just two of us, I usually make this with only a single boneless chicken breast pounded flat. It's a great weeknight supper with some broccoli and brown rice. This is one of the few recipes I would give 5 stars.

1 tablespoon butter
1
tablespoon vegetable oil
8
(2-ounce) turkey or chicken cutlets
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/4
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4
cup all-purpose flour
1
cup fresh orange juice
2
teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/3
cup dried cranberries

Melt butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat.

While butter melts, sprinkle cutlets with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge cutlets in flour; shake off excess flour.

Increase heat to medium-high; heat 2 minutes or until butter turns golden brown. Add cutlets to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove cutlets from pan; keep warm. Add juice, mustard, and cranberries to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 2/3 cup (about 5 minutes). Serve sauce over cutlets.
