1. Break the bread into pieces. 2. In a large bowl, soak the bread in the half-and-half until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. 3. Mix in the chicken, egg, salt, pepper, dill and the 3 tablespoons room-temperature butter. 4. Put in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up. 5. Remover the chicken mixture from the freezer; it will still be very soft. 6. Form the mixture into four oval cutlets and coat them with the bread crumbs. 7. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil over moderate heat. 8. Cook the cutlets until golden brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side. 9. Variation for Italian-Style Chicken Cutlets: Omit the dill. 10. Use half bread crumbs, half grated Parmesan cheese to coat the cutlets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
