Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill

1 tablespoon grainy mustard

Grated zest of 2 lemons

2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning

2 teaspoons sweet paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 

1 1/4 pounds chicken cutlets (4 to 6)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Tartar Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons

2 teaspoons grainy mustard

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

2 teaspoons chopped capers

Directions

  1. Make the chicken: Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Whisk the olive oil, mustard, lemon zest, Old Bay, sweet paprika and cayenne in a small bowl.
  2. Place the chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a heavy skillet or the flat side of a meat mallet until an even 1/2-inch thickness. Rub the chicken with the olive oil mixture; set aside while you make the tartar sauce.
  3. Make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, cornichons, mustard, dill and capers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper and grill until browned and well marked, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
  5. Top the chicken with the tartar sauce.

This is delicious. Made it last night and it is a nice change. We love old bay on shrimp so trying it on chicken was a no brainer. Certainly did not disappoint. I did leave out the cayenne though because I don't have a high tolerance for heat and I find old bay a bit spicy. I highly recommend it.
