Notes
To make your life a little easier, you can buy your chicken cutlets already sliced, or ask the people that work at the meat counter to do it for you. Since cutlets are very thin, this only cooks for about 8 minutes to keep the chicken nice and moist. Ours were about 1/4" thick. If yours are thicker, just be sure to cook the chciken until it reaches 165°F. When adding the preserves to the chicken, I like to use a spoon and place small spoonfuls all around the pan. This just helps it incorporate into the sauce more easily.
