Rocco GizzoThere are some dishes that make sense the second they hit the table, and Grilled Chicken Cutlets is one of them. This is thin chicken cutlets cooked quickly over the grill for an endlessly useful summer staple. It is practical enough for a weeknight without tasting like a compromise. It is especially good when summer cooking is in full swing. For me, this is the sweet spot: familiar enough to feel like comfort food, but good enough that you are already thinking about the next bite. That is the kind of cooking I want this site to be full of — approachable, full of flavor and never precious about itself. Make it, tweak it to your taste and have a little fun with it. That is the whole point.
