Notes
- If you don't own a meat mallet to mash these out, a good old rolling pin will work just fine.
- You can use already trimmed chicken breasts if you'd like, they will come in smaller portions and weight, so adjust baking time accordingly.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or one and a halved to serve a larger family.
