Greek-inspired grilled chicken cutlets with kalamata olives, feta cheese, grape tomatoes, mint and basil with an optional marinade.
A fast, easy, impressive chicken dish you can have on the table in 25 minutes or less.
The briny olives, salty feta, acidic tomatoes and fresh burst of flavor from the herbs need little else but a drizzle of olive oil to bring them together.
The thin chicken cutlets take all of 10 minutes or less to cook and there’s an optional marinade you can throw together earlier in the day or the night before that will ensure your chicken turns out juicy, tender and flavorful.
The contrast of the hot chicken with the cool, colorful topping makes an enticing and refreshing dish for a hot summer night.
It will taste like you slaved over the hot stove all day.
No one need know you didn’t.

This is absolutely beautiful! Dinners are getting away from me this summer so something quick like this is perfect. The kids will eat it too, as long as there is some left!
A definite new recipe for me! YUM!
This is my kind of dish. Love the Greek flavors/ingredients!

It sounds delicious. I always add Dijon mustard in my marinades.
