Easy Sweet and Spicy Apricot Chipotle Glazed Cutlets
Sweet Spicy Apricot Glazed Cutlets are a delightful culinary creation that balances the perfect blend of flavors. The tender and juicy cutlets are coated in a tangy and slightly sweet apricot glaze. This recipe is not only delicious but also remarkably easy to make. With just a handful of ingredients and simple cooking techniques, these cutlets can be whipped up in no time.
Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey breast cutlets or chicken, or po
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ cup All-Purpouse flour (you don't have to flour the cutlets, but I think they cook better if you do)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- For the Glaze
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot or onion
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup apricot preserves
- 1 chile in Adobo minced, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce start here and add bit by bit until you have the sweet-hot flavor you love
Instructions
- Season the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper and lightly flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet, when hot add the butter. Add the cutlets (in batches if necessary) and fry, about 1 to 2 minutes per side (they should be slightly browned, but don't cook too long as they will cook more in the sauce). Remove them from the pan as they brown.
- Once the cutlets have browned and have been removed from the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the shallots (or onion), and sauté for about 3 - 4 minutes or until soft. Add the preserves and allow them to melt, then add the minced chile and adobo sauce. Stir well.
- Add the cutlets back. Simmer slowly, while turning them often in the glaze. Once they are all hot and well glazed, they are ready to serve.
