Instructions

Notes

 How to flatten chicken: I usually place my chicken in-between parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten slightly. This will help from chicken juice or pieces from getting all over your chicken.
Spraying your chicken with a oil or butter-based nonstick cooking spray will help your chicken stay moist. You could also use oil or melted butter and brush it onto our chicken.
