Total Time: 28 minutes - 1 hour 18 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 thin-sliced chicken cutlets

• 1 tsp fine dried rosemary

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp za'atar

• 1 tsp paprika

• Parchment paper

• Grill pan

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the fine dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, za'atar, and paprika to create the spice mix.

2. Place the thin-sliced chicken cutlets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Evenly coat the chicken cutlets with the spice mix, ensuring each cutlet is well-seasoned.

3. Allow the chicken cutlets to marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour, depending on your preference and available time.

4. Preheat the grill pan over medium heat. While the pan is heating up, place a piece of parchment paper on the grill pan, making sure it covers the entire surface.

5. Once the grill pan is hot, place the marinated chicken cutlets on the parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

6. Cook the chicken cutlets for 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and tender. Be cautious not to overcook them, as this may cause the chicken to become dry.

7. Remove the cooked chicken cutlets from the grill pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

8. Enjoy your flavorful, oil and mess-free grilled chicken cutlets, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!
