Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use the flat end of a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken into thin pieces. If you do not have a mallet, you can use anything heavy, like a saucepan, or a rolling pin.
I used about 1 3/4 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to make this recipe. You could also use 2 large chicken breasts and cut them in half lengthwise for a total of 4 cutlets.
