For the chicken:

- Mix and form into a paste like marinade.
- Rub each piece of chicken with the paste and place in a covered bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to over night.
- Heat a cast iron griddle or large cast iron frying pan.

- Allow the edges of the chicken to turn white then turn over and finish cooking on the other side. The cooking time will depend the thickness of the cutlet. Thin sliced cutlets should take about 4 minutes or so per side. The juices should run clear when the chicken is cooked through.
