Chicken Parmesan

Step 2 Prepare the chicken

The idea is to cut each chicken breast into thin cutlets. So, first start by chopping off any "extra bits." Large extra bits can be turned into small cutlets. Smaller ones should probably be tossed as scrap.

Also, trim away any extra fat, blood and guts or bits of meat that don't look right.

Next, slice the chicken breast in half length-wise to make two thin and long cutlets.

Finally, tenderize the meat by gently tapping it on both sides with the sharp edge of the blade.
