How to slice chicken breasts
- Use a chef's knife (affiliate link) to cut across each breast to divide it into two thinner pieces.
- Pound the chicken cutlets with a meat mallet (affiliate link) or a heavy-bottomed pan. This will tenderize them and give them a uniform thickness, so they'll cook evenly.
Now, let's get to the recipes!
