- 01
Place your hand over the top of the chicken breast. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the breast horizontally, leaving the edge intact so it can open up like a book.
- 02
Unfold the chicken breast, then cut along the fold to separate the two halves (each half is a cutlet).
- 03
Pound the chicken (optional*): Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and lightly pound the chicken with a mallet or heavy pan to make it an even 1/4-inch thickness.
