Prepare the garlic marinade: In a small bowl, mix together 4 minced garlic cloves, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dried oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ground black pepper.
Place the chicken cutlets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each cutlet is fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best results.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the potatoes: Preheat your grill to medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary leaves, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Grill the potatoes: Place the potato halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and have grill marks.
Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken cutlets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill the cutlets for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken cutlets on a serving platter and accompany them with the grilled potatoes. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
