Instructions

1. 1Season the 4 chicken cutlets all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper.
2. 2Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned cutlets and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown, then continue cooking, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F, about 5–6 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. 3Reduce heat to medium. Add the thinly sliced shallot to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, 2–3 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
4. 4Stir in the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
5. 5Pour in 1 cup chicken stock and stir in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Increase heat to high, bring to a simmer, then reduce to medium-low and cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce reduces by about half.
6. 6Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons cold salted butter until the butter melts completely and the sauce is glossy.
7. 7Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet and turn to coat evenly in the sauce.
8. 8Divide the chicken and sauce evenly among 4 airtight meal-prep containers. Serve over cooked rice or couscous with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of kosher salt if desired.
