Blackstone Chicken Cutlets Recipe (Crispy & Juicy)

I can definitely say that chicken cutlets will be everyone’s favorite dish. Its delicious aroma attracts people automatically. Before sharing the recipe, I would like to tell you a short funny story about me and my brother. I hope you will enjoy it too.

When I was little, I shared everything with my little brother. From clothes to toys, and even a bedroom. But when our mother made chicken cutlets, we fought with each other like roosters every time. He says he will eat more. And I always said I will eat more.

One time, our mother made chicken cutlets for us and put both of us on two plates. My eyes were on my brother’s plate because I felt that there was more chicken on his plate. I wanted him to exchange the plate but he didn’t. So I had to fight him and quickly ate his cutlets too. Then Mother scolded me a lot and made it again for him.

Whenever this scene comes to my mind, I laugh so hard. 😁

I gradually learned the recipe by watching my mother and now I make chicken cutlets at home. To save time, I mostly make it in a pan, but sometimes when a guest comes to our house, there is an opportunity to make it on Blackstone. And I can say with certainty that chicken cutlets made on Blackstone taste much better than those made in the kitchen.

In this article, I’ll explain to you how you can make your chicken cutlets recipe better with the help of a Blackstone griddle. So let’s get started!

Difference Between Shallow Fry vs Deep Fry

Before going to the next process, you should know the difference between shallow fry and deep fry. They are two different cooking methods in which hot oil is used to fry food. Here’s the comparison:

Shallow Fry

(Temperature: 350°F – 355°F)

In shallow frying, you use a small amount of oil that only covers the bottom of the pan. When the food is cooked from one side, it is flipped over and cooked from the other side. This method is commonly used for cooking smaller, thinner, or more delicate foods like eggs, pancakes, etc. 

Deep Fry

(Temperature: 365°F – 370°F)

In deep frying, the food is completely immersed in the hot oil. In this method, the food is cooked from all sides at the same time. Usually, it is used for cooking larger, or denser foods like chicken, potatoes, and doughnuts.

Shallow fry is healthier than deep fry due to less oil consumption.

Keyword: Chicken Cutlets on Blackstone

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 kg)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Dipping Sauces

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

• Prepare the marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Set aside.
• Pound the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This will ensure even cooking.
• Marinate the chicken: Place the pounded chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
• Preheat the Blackstone griddle: Set your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
• Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cook the chicken: Once the griddle is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the griddle, spacing them evenly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
