📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish lightly with olive oil.

Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise into 2 cutlets. Put cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to an even 1/4” thickness. Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle it over both sides of the chicken cutlets.

Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and when the oil is hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Sautée about ⏱️ 2 minutes per side, or until golden then transfer to your prepared casserole dish. Don’t worry about cooking it through at this point. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil as needed.
