Notes

Pro tip: Butterfly the chicken: Lay the breasts down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board, slice the breasts through the middle (carefully) all the way in half. Place plastic wrap over the chicken and pound them even to 1/4 inch thick using a mallet or small frying pan or rolling pin.
