Chicken cutlets dusted with earthy za’atar spice are seared to golden, juicy perfection. They're tucked into toasted ciabattas swiped with garlic-onion mayo along with a heap of crisp salad greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes in a bracing vinaigrette. There will be plenty of extra salad to serve on the side, too.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Quarter tomato lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Halve cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.

Cook Chicken & Mix Mayo
2
  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Za'atar Spice (you'll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, half the onion powder (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

  • Halve and toast ciabattas.

Mix Salad
3
  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, remaining Za'atar Spice, a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper.

  • Add mixed greens, tomato, and cucumber; toss until coated.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Evenly spread cut sides of ciabattas with garlic onion mayo. Top bottom halves of ciabattas with chicken and as much salad as you like. Close to form sandwiches.

  • Divide sandwiches and any remaining salad between plates. Serve.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the za'atar-spiced chicken, though some found the salad dressing too tart or vinegary.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with a visually appealing presentation of bright colors.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding feta cheese to boost flavor. Try using heartier greens or a slaw for better texture.
  • Portions: Some wished for larger chicken pieces, while others found the salad greens too plentiful.
  • Bread: A few found the ciabatta rolls too hard or dense; toasting carefully may help improve texture.
