Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil

8 skinless chicken cutlets, left thick (just part them slightly from the bottom), blotted thoroughly dry

Flour, any kind

1 teaspoon turmeric

Ground pepper to taste

1 cup water

Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon

2 canned chipotle peppers, minced, with 2 tablespoons of the liquid

1/3 cup plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

Garnish: minced parsley or thinly sliced chives.

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet. Dredge the cutlets in flour, shaking off the excess. Add to hot oil and sauté about 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Add all but last ingredient and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Whisk the yogurt into the liquid left in the skillet, adding it gradually so it doesn’t curdle. Pour the sauce on the chicken, and sprinkle with the garnish. Serve hot.
