This Mediterranean Chicken Cutlets recipe features tender, thinly pounded chicken breasts seasoned with oregano, smoked paprika, and garlic, lightly coated in flour and pan-fried to golden perfection. The cutlets are drizzled with a fragrant honey garlic sauce accented with lemon and a touch of chili flakes, then topped with crumbled feta, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and fresh herbs. Perfectly paired with rice, couscous, or flatbread, this dish offers a flavorful, wholesome Mediterranean-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Cutlets:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for light coating)

For the Honey Garlic Drizzle:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional for heat)

For Serving & Garnish:

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
  • Optional: cooked rice, couscous, or flatbread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Mix oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper with the flour on a plate. Lightly dredge each pounded chicken breast in the seasoned flour to ensure an even coating.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make the Honey Garlic Drizzle: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and chili flakes if using. Warm gently for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly thickened, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Arrange the cooked chicken cutlets on a serving plate. Drizzle the warm honey garlic sauce generously over the top.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley or dill over the drizzled chicken. Serve warm, optionally paired with cooked rice, couscous, or warm flatbread to complete the Mediterranean meal.

Notes

  • To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thinness before dredging.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your heat preference or omit for a milder drizzle.
  • Use fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a bright finish and added freshness.
  • The honey garlic drizzle can be made ahead and warmed gently before serving.
  • For gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour.
