*Chicken seasoning substitute:  1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt.

*3 chicken breasts weighing 1 3/4 pounds were sliced and made 6 thin cutlets.

*If you like the chicken to be slightly browned, place pan under the broiler for about two minutes.  Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
