Preparation

Tapenades (red and black):

In a blender, mix all the ingredients for the red tapenade into a coarse purée. Follow the same procedure for the black tapenade.

Chicken Cutlets:

Prepare chicken cutlets by flattening breasts out. Season with salt and pepper. Coat cutlets with flour, dip in beaten egg then coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat oil and butter in a frying pan, brown cutlets about 5 minutes on each side then place in a baking dish.

Arrange two slices of Canadian Saint-Basile de Portneuf cheese on each cutlet. Spread red tapenade on half of each cutlet and black tapenade on the other half. Place under grill until cheese starts to melt.
