After a long day at the office I'm not interested in cooking a labor intensive meal for dinner. I want something that comes together quick and requires little effort. For the most part, chicken breast cutlets tend to fit the bill. Sauteing approximately 3-4 minutes per side in a grill pan, allows me just enough time to pull together the rest of the meal while I wait.

Plain grilled chicken can get boring fast, but it's easy to spice it up with a few of your favorite ingredients. In the recipe below I used a mix of artichoke hearts, chopped olives, feta cheese and sweet bell peppers giving what could've been boring cutlets a Mediterranean flair.
