Grilled Chicken Cutlets Recipe
These Grilled Chicken Cutlets are the perfect way to have juicy, tender chicken on the grill in a fraction of the time!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup soy sauce sub coconut aminos or tamari
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut Chicken: Lay chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut each chicken breast in half, lengthwise. This will result in 4 chicken cutlets that are half as thick.
- Marinate Chicken: Put the chicken cutlets in a bowl or large storage bag with the soy sauce to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Prep: Preheat the outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and ensure the grill grates are clean.
- Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Season chicken with a sprinkling of salt and pepper on both sides. Place the cutlets directly on the grill grates to sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drop the heat of the grill a little bit while the chicken finish cooking. Let them cook until their internal temperature at the thickest part of the meat reaches 165 degrees F (use a meat thermometer).
- Rest: Let the meat rest for about 5-10 minutes on a cutting board.
- Serve: Enjoy the chicken by itself or use in your favorite recipe - we love them on our Grilled Protein Chicken Salad + Seedy Granola Crunch!
Notes
- Marinade: we kept it simple for these cutlets and just used soy sauce but, if you have the time, we also highly recommend our Chicken Marinade!
- Storage: this is a great way to prep some cooked chicken to use later in the week. After cooking, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
