Step 3

the chicken cutlets: While the sauce is simmering, heat the olive oil in another large sauté pan on medium high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breast cutlets.Add cutlets to pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.

Step 4

the sauce and serve: Stir the sage into the sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken.Serve alone or with a vegetable (for low carb version) or with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta (use gluten-free pasta for gluten-free version).
