Ingredients
- 1 pound small new potatoes (about 10)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 10-ounce package frozen peas
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 small chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes, adding the peas in the last 2 minutes; drain. Gently mash with the scallions, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat with the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook half the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to plates. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Serve with the potatoes.

Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
