Method

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Even thickness matters here more than anything else, since it's what keeps the chicken from drying out in spots while other spots stay underdone.
