Agree with the others. I’d personally pre-cook the whole dish and rewarm on low.

Given your understandable reason, I think you can. I'd scrape all the pan drippings into to the glass storage container with the chicken, and the scrape it all back into the pan the next day and pick up the recipe from there.

It should be fine, but you might want to heat up the chicken a bit before you incorporate it.

Yeah, I don't see this as any different than using those pre-grilled chicken strips or rotisserie chicken in recipes as long as you have a really creamy sauce. You can probably cook the whole thing and then warm it up as a casserole.

Don't do that. You can cut and flatten the chicken the day before, so all yo have to do is season and cook it. But the cooking process takes all of 6 minutes, according to the recipe. If you are so time pressured that 6 minutes really matters, make chili or stew the day before.

No.

This is a 20 minute recipe! Do not precook it!

and refrigerate pan seared chicken cutlets (not breaded) overnight, incorporate into this recipe next day on stove top, and serve immediately?
