Paillard is a term used to describe thinly sliced or flattened lightly pounded meat so that it can be sautéed or grilled quickly. Nowadays, a more common name used for paillard is a cutlet. Chicken paillard is a great and easy-to-make recipe.

Paillards can be made with chicken, veal, beef, turkey, and pork. Traditionally they are cut from large pieces of meat but to get rid of the cutting process, most of the supermarkets have a variety of thin meat. Chicken paillards are made from the breast of meat.

To make chicken paillards, flatten the chicken breasts. Marinate them in a mixture of wine, lemon, shallot, olive oil, and garlic for 15 minutes. Grease a grill pan. Season a chicken with salt and pepper and grill it in the pan. Put arugula and tomatoes in a bowl and add a dressing of lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, and lemon zest. Serve the grilled chicken with the salad.
