  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 ounce)

  • Preparation
  • Place each breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Place flour in a shallow dish, and dredge chicken in flour.
