(this is important as the citrus will begin to
“cook” the chicken and toughen it).
While marinating the chicken, preheat the
Cuisinart
®
Griddler Express
™
on high setting.
When grill is hot and chicken has finished mari-
nating, drain the chicken well and discard mari-
nade. Arrange the chicken on the hot grill, spacing
e v e n l y, and close using medium pressure. Grill
for 6 to 8 minutes. Chicken will be opaque with
distinct grill markings, and juices will run clear,
not pink.
Check internal temperature of chicken with an
instant-read thermometer, the temperature
should be 170°-175°F. Chicken can be served
hot, or cooled, covered and refrigerated for
another use such as a salad.
Tip:
If fresh herbs are not available, substitute
1 tablespoon of a dried herb such as basil,
oregano, rosemary, or thyme.

Optional Brine
Brining makes some meats that can be dry,
flavorful and moist. If you have the time, try this
brine with turkey cutlets. Combine 1 tablespoon
each brown sugar and kosher salt in a bowl
with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until sugar and salt
are completely dissolved. Add 2 cups ice cubes
and 1 cup cold water or cider. Stir until mixture
is completely cold. Place turkey cutlets in cold
brine. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain
and rinse before using.
Tip:
if your turkey cut-
lets have been frozen, place the frozen cutlets
in the brine and refrigerate during the day – they
will thaw and brine at the same time.
