How To Cut Chicken Breast Into Cutlets
Cutting chicken breast into cutlets is a great way to get thinly sliced chicken that can be used in a variety of recipes. Cutlets can be grilled, broiled, baked, or sautéed, and it makes a great addition to salads, pasta dishes, rice bowls, and many more.
Ingredients
- 1 Whole boneless skinless chicken breast
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry so it doesn't slide whilst cutting.
- Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and place your palm firmly on it. Using a sharp knife, cut all the way through the middle of the chicken horizontally from the thickest part to achieve two thinner pieces.
- If the chicken breast still appears too thick, put a cling film over the cut piece of chicken on the chopping board, and using a meat mallet, pound the chicken until it's thinner to your desired thickness.
