Ramadan calls for nutritious yet delicious meals that provide energy without unnecessary calories. If you’re looking for a low-calorie yet satisfying Iftari option, these Oats & Chicken Cutlets are the perfect choice. They are crispy, flavorful, and packed with protein and fiber, making them an excellent alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks.
Why Choose Oats & Chicken Cutlets?
