In order to enhance the bland flavor of naked chicken, I like to quickly marinate it in a flavorful sauce. I begin by preparing a base of aromatics and herbs, in this case minced garlic and rosemary, but any herb will do, and shallots can be used in place of (or in addition to) garlic. Tons of black pepper is also a must for me. I begin with lemon juice in the marinating liquid to add some brightness.
A big drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil serves three functions. First, it adds its own flavor to the mix. Second, it aids in the even distribution of fat-soluble flavoring compounds from the garlic and herbs over that chicken breast so they stick there as it cooks. Finally, it acts as a temperature buffer to ensure that the chicken is evenly browned by the grill’s high heat.
If you haven’t already realized it, what we just created is essentially a loose vinaigrette, which is a respectable finishing sauce in and of itself. So, after preparing the marinade, I set aside half of it to use as a sauce when my chicken is done. Two steps with one sauce, or two birds with one stone?

Unlike meats like steaks and pork chops, chicken can be served immediately after being taken off the grill.
Chicken cutlets are breast pieces of boneless, skinless chicken that are uniformly thick throughout, making them ideal for grilling. You can prepare dinner and have it on the table in less than 30 minutes thanks to the even thickness of the cutlets.
For dishes like fajitas and chicken salads, you can either serve the pieces whole or cut them into strips or chunks.
To add protein to a salad, grill chicken cutlets with a little light salt and pepper. Alternatively, prepare a marinade with ingredients from Latin America or Asia to create a flavorful main course.
