Your kids love chicken cutlets, but they really prefer them breaded and fried. This version of grilled chicken is so flavorful, they won’t mind that you didn’t fry them.
- 1- 1 ½ lbs thinly sliced boneless chicken breast
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon shawarma spice
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 Tablespoon bread crumbs
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoon minced onion
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Crushed black pepper
- In a bowl, combine chicken and all ingredients. Grill right away or leave in the fridge or freezer until ready to cook.
- Heat a grill pan. Add chicken and grill for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also cook them in a saute pan using 1 tablespoon oil. (To bake, spread on a greased baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 425⁰F for 12-15 minutes).

Made this tonight in the oven and it was such a hit! Juicy and flavorful; thanks for coming through with a delicious recipe to add to my “what to make with cutlets for dinner” repertoire.

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 ????????
b says
do you bake it covered or uncovered?
Leah Schapira says
Uncovered.
Sara says
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?
Aviva says
Tonight was the first time in ages that everyone in the family liked the same supper! They all ate every bite! Thank you!
Tzippy says
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!
Debby says
i love this recipe! i made it with veggies in rolls like a sandwich and it was delicious!!
Hindy says
This recipe is yum! Got a good mix of flavors
Rochel says
Can I leave out the bread crumbs?
TW says
Hi my new favorite dinner! Can it be grilled a day in advance?
Ruchie says
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.
Rivky says
It was delicious but is there anything that I can use instead of Shawna spice? Some ppl in my fam don’t like the spice…
