   Step 2: Heat the 28 g butter and 28 g avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the cutlets for about 5 minutes per side, adding the 165 g pineapple shortly after turning the chicken and cooking until the fruit caramelizes. Adjust the heat if the butter starts to scorch. Check the thickest part of the cutlets with a thermometer and continue as needed until the chicken reaches 165°F / 74°C.
