Servings: 6 servings
- 8-12 chicken cutlets or 6 breasts cut into cutlets (see below
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 1/2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour

- Resting the chicken before cooking helps the seasoning adhere and keeps the cutlets moist.
- If your pan is small, cook the chicken in batches to avoid steaming.
- Thicker cutlets may need an extra minute or two of cooking time. Check for doneness by slicing into the center.
- Storage: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or enjoy chilled on salads.
