Cabernet Sauvignon:

(cab er nay saw vee nyon)—This highly adaptable grape grows almost anywhere it is relatively warm, but the best wines come from the Burgundy region of France (where it is a noble variety), California, and Australia. It became famous through the red wines of the Médoc district of Bordeaux and is now grown in Washington, southern France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes make wines that are high in tannin and medium- to full-bodied. Usually identified as having black currant or cassis flavors, the grape can also possess vegetal tones when the grapes are less than ideally ripe. The best wines are rich and firm with great depth, and are often aged for fifteen years or more. Because it is highly tannic, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other less-tannic grapes such as Merlot.

Crisp Chicken Cutlets

Rated

Ingredients

1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
1-1/2 lbs thinly sliced chicken breast cutlets
2 whole lemons, cut into wedges
1-1/4 cups plain bread crumbs
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika

Preparation

Preheat an oven broiler.

Place the bread crumbs and all of the spices in a medium-sized shallow bowl, and stir to mix well. Set aside.

Place the egg substitute in a second shallow bowl, and set aside.

Spray a 9-x-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Dip each cutlet first in the egg substitute and then in the bread crumb mixture, coating well. Arrange the cutlets on the prepared pan. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the chicken.

Place the chicken under the broiler, about 4 inches below the heat source. Broil for about 3 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned. Turn the cutlets over, and squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon over them. Broil for 3 additional minutes, or just until lightly browned and no longer pink inside when cut with a knife. Serve immediately.
