04-How to Flatten Chicken Breasts |
|
All it takes is a little bit of muscle to flatten chicken breasts until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Because they are thinner, chicken breasts or thighs can be used for fast, easy recipes such as Chicken-Pesto Sandwiches (see Salads, Sandwiches and Pizza) and Lemon-Pistachio Chicken (see Stir-Fries and Skillet Meals). The flat, even shape is perfect for more elegant recipes that are rolled up with a filling, such as Oven Chicken Kiev (see Great Chicken Classics). It's easy to do using one of our methods below.
