Notes

  • Pound the chicken evenly for the most tender results.
  • Fresh lemon juice provides the best flavor.
  • Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing so the juices stay inside.
  • Serve with rice pilaf, steamed vegetables, baked potatoes, or a fresh salad.
