Oven Baked Chicken Cutlets
Oven Baked Chicken Cutlets are thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper before being coated in breadcrumbs and baked. This method results in tender chicken with a flavorful, lightly crisp breadcrumb crust. The marinade adds brightness and subtle sweetness, balancing the savory chicken and herbs.
