Palermo-style cutlets are a tasty meat-based main course, light and easy to prepare.
Unlike classic cutlets, Palermo-style ones are not fried in butter and do not contain eggs, but have a delicious breading of breadcrumbs, pecorino cheese, and chopped parsley, and are grilled. The result is a tasty and flavorful dish without eggs, with a few simple ingredients, loved by both adults and children.

Brush them with some extra virgin olive oil on all sides.Place the breadcrumbs, grated pecorino cheese, a pinch of salt, pepper, and some chopped parsley in a shallow plate and mix them thoroughly.
Coat the chicken slices in the breading, pressing to ensure it adheres well on all sides.Heat the grill and cook the chicken slices for ten to fifteen minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are well grilled.
