Side Dishes for Chicken Cutlets

What's a chicken dinner without sides? Most of the time I serve a green salad with homemade ranch salad dressing or Italian salad dressing. But that can get boring after awhile.

And because chicken itself can sometimes be boring, you need to get creative with what to serve on the side. The good news is baked chicken cutlet recipes go with so many different flavors!

So whether you're looking for mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese or simple roasted asparagus, you're going to find a great variety of recipes to prepare for your family's next dinner.
