This dish has 2 parts: Chicken; Sauce. 

QUICKTHAW CHICKEN AND SAUCE. Submerge well-sealed sauce in warm water for 15-20 minutes to thaw.

Over medium-low heat, brown cutlets in a little oil, about 4 minutes each side or until desired browning is obtained. Be careful not too cook over too high heat.  The pan should not be dark brown or the sauce will not cook properly. Remove cutlets and deglaze pan with sauce. Once sauce is heated throughout and slightly thickened, return cutlets to sauce and simmer until internal temp reaches 165F. Remove from heat and let the dish "rest" for 5 min before serving - this allows the sauce to thicken a bit.
