Ingredients

1/2 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
5 teaspoons grated lemon peel
4 small garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 (3- to 4-ounce) chicken or turkey cutlets, patted dry
3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle generous 2 tablespoons cheese on nonstick baking sheet; spread to 3 1/2-inch circle. Repeat with remaining cheese, spacing frico 1 inch apart.

    Place 1 cutlet on plate; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons gremolata. Top with another cutlet; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons gremolata. Top with frico. Repeat with remaining cutlets, gremolata, and frico.
