Ingredients
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil (can sub avocado oil)
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • All-purpose flour or cornstarch
Instructions
  1. Place a chicken breast on a cutting board or protected surface. Optionally cover the chicken with a piece of plastic wrap. Pound the thick part of the chicken with a meat mallet until the breast has a relatively even thickness. You aren’t pounding it flat, but just evening it out. Repeat with the other piece of chicken breast.
  2. Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with salt and pepper, followed by a dusting of all-purpose flour or cornstarch.

Notes
Nutrition Notes: The nutrition facts will vary based on the chicken size you use, amount of salt you add, and how much oil is absorbed. This is based on 2 (4-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, ¼ teaspoon salt (total), and ⅔ oil absorption (1 tablespoon). The oil absorption and salt retention are quite possibly a bit less.
