Grilled Chicken Schnitzel

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine chicken and all ingredients. Grill right away or leave in the fridge or freezer until ready to cook.

    This is amazing!! I actually sub out the bread crumbs for almond flour and add 1 Tbsp of turmeric and the yellow color makes my husband think it’s not healthy ????????

    Tried to comment on the hot pretzels recipe but it doesn’t allow comments. FYI u switch between baking soda and baking powder in the recipe. Which one is it?

    Thank you so much for reposting about this recipe yesterday! I made it in wraps with veggies. My kids usually douse their chicken wraps with sauces and dressings, but the spice mix on this chicken was perfect on its own!

    Hi my new favorite dinner! Can it be grilled a day in advance?

    1. Chani Avatar
      Chani

      Of course you can. It will taste one day old and obviously be cold unless you reheat it. Fresh is best

    I make this without shawarma spice and it still comes out delicious. However I find that this recipe is not enough spice mix for 1 lb chicken. I always have to double. Does anyone else find that? It makes so little.

      Maybe if you put the schwarma spice in you won’t have that issue

    Can the shwarma spice be left out? some ppl in my family don’t like it…

    1. Esther Baila Avatar

      Sure! You should only use spices your family likes . I’m assuming you’ve eaten chicken before. It can be seasoned with many different spices. Garlic powder onion powder paprika salt pepper cumin oregano basil thyme these are just a few examples. Schwarma spice is not the only way to season chicken cutlets.

    I’ve been making this for years now from the cookbook. I don’t like the flavor profile, but every so often I’ll make it as a real treat for my husband for supper or for Friday night when I don’t eat the chicken anyways. My toddler calls it the “grass” chicken!

    YUM! Throw some canned potatoes in with the chicken to marinate and throw it all on the grill…
