Today, @foodbymaria, we’re preparing a Crispy Chicken Cutlet topped with a crispy Maroulosalata and @parmigianoreggianousa!

Welcome Back to Episode 12 of Should Have been Greek! A series where I share lighthearted ways I can improve popular recipes by adding my Greek flare to them! Introducing, your next obsession!

Comment “recipe” below if you want the recipe for the chicken cutlets! The recipe will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website.

To make the BEST Crispy Chicken Cutlets, it’s essential to tenderize the chicken with a tenderizer or a rolling pin. This flattens the chicken and allows for an even cook as well as the most crispy surface and edges.

Crispy Chicken Cutlets (get the full recipe for the bowl + sauce on my website, link in bio)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 pieces
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, I use @kikkomanusa
1 1/2 tsp @DiamondCrystalSalt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder, I use @spiceology
1/2 tsp onion powder, I use @spiceology
2 tsp za’taar
1/4 tsp chili flakes
1/4 tsp chili powder
avocado oil for frying

Here’s how you make my Viral Maroulosalta - you can find the full recipe for the Chicken Cutlet’s linked in my bio!

1 ½ heads romaine lettuce
5 sprigs green onion
1/3 cup fresh dill chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. vinegar (or substitute with lemon juice)
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper

Top with @parmigianireggianousa
Top notch olive oil!

Wash the romaine lettuce and chop to your desired size. 
Transfer to a large bowl. 
Thinly slice the green onion and add it to the bowl along with the freshly chopped dill. 
Add the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. 
Mix to combine, and adjust seasoning to taste. 
Serve this delicious salad as a side dish to any meal!!

Make this salad if you’re looking for the perfect recipe to meal prep and enjoy all week long — it’s so hearty, filling and packed with flavor. Inspired by the flavours of Greece and Blue Zone Citizens who eat meals packed with at least 50% veggies, plenty of beans and limited amounts of animal protein per day. They also opt for goat cheese for their dairy of choice. Salads can get a bad reputation for just being a bowl of veggies that may taste good at the moment but leave you hungry in 30 minutes. The key is creating a salad that has filling, hearty ingredients like organic chicken, butter beans, barley and goats cheese!

Welcome Back to Episode 61 of All things Greek! Today we are making Salmon Keftedes - or otherwise known as balls!

They’re packed with protein, loads of nutrients and are so easy to make. I love having some frozen in the freezer for when I have guests round or if I need a healthy dinner in a pinch.

They are delicious on a bed of rice, on their own as an appetizer or snack, or tossed on a salad. I paired them with a creamy Scampi sauce that really Brough the whole situation to life. What I love most about this recipe is that it’s essentially farm to table. You can source the best quality fish and pulse it out into the most delicious gourmet balls. 100% better than store bought!

All you need in 1 blender and a pan! That is it. In just 35 minutes you’ll have the most delicious little main or appetizer. If you live garlic, lemon and wine then this ready is for you!

Here is everything you need to become a Salmon Ball Queen!

Ingredients:

For the salmon balls:

1/2 yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp chili flakes
zest from one lemon
450-500 g (1 lb) skinless salmon filets, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
