3.
Grill or Fry
Heat grill to medium high. Grill approximately 5 minutes per side for dark chicken (thighs), or 4 per side for white (breasts).
Chicken can also be pan-fried for the same amount of time, using just a light coating of olive oil.

4.
Bake
For the healthiest and easiest option, lay marinated and spiced cutlets on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 16 - 18 minutes, or until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink (cut into thickest piece to check).

Notes
Do not reheat when serving or it will dry out. Simply place on a warm spot, or serve at room temp.
Leftovers can be cut into strips to add to salad or make whole wheat veggie and chicken wraps.
