Chicken Frico with Gremolata

This elegant chicken frico with gremolata is a sophisticated yet simple dish that brings vibrant Mediterranean flavours to your kitchen. The combination of tender grilled poultry and a crisp, salty parmesan wafer provides a wonderful contrast in textures, while the zesty gremolata adds a bright, herbaceous finish. By using lean chicken or turkey cutlets, this recipe remains light and nutritious without compromising on the deep, savoury notes provided by the aged Italian cheese.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein, making it an excellent choice for a healthy mid-week dinner or a dinner party centrepiece. The gremolata can be prepared in advance, and the cheese crisps can even be made a day ahead, allowing you to assemble this impressive meal in minutes. Serve alongside a fresh green salad or steamed seasonal vegetables for a complete, balanced meal.
