Replace the shredded chicken with an equal amount of crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or a mix of boiled and mashed vegetables like carrots, peas, and French beans.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the coated cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray them lightly with oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder to the chicken masala for extra heat.
