SPEEDY ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN PICCATA WITH HERBED COUSCOUS

Because chicken cutlets are much thinner than whole chicken breasts, they cook much more quickly and save time. You can buy chicken breasts already sliced into cutlets, or simply cut whole boneless breasts in half horizontally. Asparagus works beautifully in this recipe, but snow peas or sweet peppers would be delicious as well, so work with whatever you happen to have on hand.

OVEN-FRIED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN

Marinating chicken in buttermilk tenderizes it and adds a tangy flavour. Buy bone-in skin-on chicken breasts and discard the skin to cut down on the fat. Not only is bone-in chicken more economical, but the bone also helps keep the meat moist. A spray bottle or atomizer evenly distributes a small amount of oil to make the breading crisp. Serve with steamed vegetables.
