Things I did differently from the recipe:
- brined the chicken cutlets for two hours in a mixture of cool water, kosher salt, two tablespoons honey, one quartered lemon and one quartered lime (squeezed juice into brine and left fruit floating in water with chicken)
- added some finely minced fresh garlic as I was browning the chicken
- left out the zucchini (due to interest in having aforementioned teenage boys actually eat what I'd cooked). I am not recommending this omission, just being clear about what was actually in the version we enjoyed.
Other than that, I followed the recipe (after rinsing the brined cutlets in cool, clean water and patting dry). It was deemed a "do again" by a tough crowd.
Next time I will use more tomatoes and double the broth to make more sauce -- it was delicious over capellini!
